Avatar n tn You probably have eczema in the groin area. Their are dozens of posts on this site and others concerning the same symptoms. My whole scrotum turns red and sometime the leg creases. None of the medication the doctors gave me do anything. I do not itch unless it turns really red. But when you read about eczema it usually itches and turns red after you scratch it. I never scratch, but it turns red sometimes within minuets. The area gets so dark in color it looks brown.
Avatar n tn Hello, i got a white circular skin rash in my groin area. I think it might be ringworm but there is no outer ring. It's no bigger then the size of a quarter.

Avatar n tn Hi, I have a rash around the groin area. It started as a small little red dot and after a week it is all red and becomes extremely itchy. Over a week period, the redness goes to a dark color and the flare up of the redness and itchiness starts over again. I can't seem to get this rash under control. Is there any type of internal medication that I can take to eliminate this condition. It is extremely frustrating.

Avatar m tn So scabies wouldn't cause itching in the general groin area only? I was looking at some pictures of scabies cases and noticed the nodules associated with scabies looked similar to the ones I have. Also the rash I have had resembles pimples or bug bites.
Avatar m tn I saw a dermatologist today for a rash under my arms and groin area. He said it was eczema and prescribed me Vanos. On Vanos' site it says not to use in groin area and underarms. Any thoughts? Is this safe? " Because VANOS® Cream may reduce levels of hormones that regulate your body’s immune system and energy levels (HPA-axis suppression), treatment should not last longer than two weeks or use more than 60 grams a week.
Avatar n tn ve had some kind of weird discoloration on my groin. It has never spread, and has always remained in the same place, right above and at the creases of my thighs and groin, along the edge of my pubic bush. The skin is kind of brown, and it exhibits reduced sensation, kind of like it's too dry. It doesn't noticeably itch. I am just puzzled, because it has never gone away for years, and I have no idea what to do about it.
Avatar m tn I noticed this morning after showering that I had red dots (resembling chichen pox except they don't appear to be blisters) around my groin area. There are probably 50 or so of them and they weren't there when I showered yesterday. I noticed tonight that there are three or four now on my penis, which weren't there this morning. They start under my belt line and stop in my inner thighs close to groin, and expand out to my midlle my hip area.
Avatar m tn Anti-itch drugs, often antihistamine, may reduce the itch during a flare up of eczema, and the reduced scratching in turn reduces damage and irritation to the skin. For mild-moderate eczema a weak steroid may be used (e.g. hydrocortisone or desonide), whilst more severe cases require a higher-potency steroid (e.g. clobetasol propionate, fluocinonide). Eczema can be exacerbated by dryness of the skin. Moisturizing is one of the most important self-care treatments for sufferers of eczema.
Avatar m tn I have a single red spot in my groin area about a 1-2cm from the base of my penis. The very top layer of skin peeled off and it is shiny now. It does not hurt, but it does sting very slightly when I touch it. It does not puss or produce any type of fluid. It appeared overnight, I woke up and found it in the shower. Any ideas on what this could be? Should I be worried about STD's? I am a 19 year old male. ANY help would be greatly appreciated. THANKS!!!

Avatar m tn I was travelling for a month and was having problem in my groin area. My scortum was too sweaty and itchy all the time. Further, on itching , powder like flakes will fall from my scortum and later whole scortum will burn for hours. Cleaning it with cold water and putting some oil would help for few hours only. I couldn't do cleaning every two hours because I was travelling. Coming back home , I read online about ii and symptoms look similar to eczema.
Avatar m tn For the last 3 weeks I have a rash on my inner thigh, which has a light itch and some peeling. The last week or so it has spread to the scrotum and now it is bright red in color. I don't think it is jock itch because from what I have read jock itch should have a define outer edge and doesn't normally spread to the scrotum. I was daily and have use powders to ensure it stays dry. What could this be?
Avatar n tn ve had a permenant rash running up the exact middle of my skin folds where the leg meets the groin area - probably about 5 inches long right in the middle of the leg crease. Absolutely doesn't itch at all, the rash is completely smooth (can't feel it at all), but it becomes sticky very easily and the skin kind of glistens a little. When I get hot and sweat, the skin will become very sticky and smelly (much more than normal).
751422 tn?1265510035 Jock itch, known scientifically as tinea cruris is a fungal infection that affects the skin folds in the groin or pubic region. It is uncomfortable, can be itchy, and usually presents as a red rash. It is more likely to occur in men , and is usually the result of exposure to and growth of the fungus Trichophyton rubrum. It may occur with more frequency if a person has excessive sweating in the groin region and does not wear moisture wicking clothing.
Avatar n tn I've had a rash around my groin for 6+ months emcompassing my scrotum, the area between my scrotum and anus, around the anus, a little on the shaft on the penis, and on the pubic bone. It's very itchy more so at night. I've been diagnosed with jock itch and have went through tube after tube of OTC jock itch cream to no avail. i've also got a rash on my eyelids that is raised and flakey, not really itchy or sore.
Avatar n tn There is red spots and bumbs in my groin area and rear area, which are very itchy. There is actually even a few red spots on my privates, I have recently been applying neosporan to the privates and it seems to help with the redness. I doubt this is an std because I don't have sex that often, all though I did have a nude woman on top of me a few weeks ago about when this started to occur ( I cannot remember if this was before or after the symptoms) but there was no sex.
Avatar f tn When I do scratch they itch even more. They are located on both sides of my groin / vulva area at the same time. They are not in clusters but there is more than one on each side. Wondering if this may be herpes? Or another Std ? Or something else?

Avatar m tn On April I developed skin rashes on my groin. It went away after I consulted with the dermatologist she said its eczema so I moved on.
