I seem to have(had) the same thing you described. I am also a water person and noticed mine after diving. Dr. Bhupinder thought it sounded like tinea cruris(jock itch) or a fungal infection. He recommended an 'over-the-counter' that contained either miconazole,tolnaftate,terbinafine,ketaconazole or clotrimazole. My pharmicist recommended clotrimazole as the best of those five and it IS working. The red rash has faded to practically clear,no itching at all.

Hi,
The rash is probably due to Tinea cruris, a fungal infection of the skin.Tinea corporis is a superficial fungal infection (dermatophytosis).
It causes itchy red patches.It is commonly seen in skin folds because fungi prefer warm, moist environments.
In general ringworm responds well to topical treatment. Topical antifungals are applied to the lesion twice a day for at least 3 weeks.
