Itchy groin/crotch

2018-04-07 21:07:12
I'm having a very itchy crotch and usually it gets intense after the area becomes sweaty! Usually the symptoms show up at night while I'm asleep often resulting in a breakage of sleep! But many times there is itch in the day time as well! Have used itch guard which provides a temporary relief (not always) Have no idea what this is? What should I do?

Fungal infection.. Also called jock itch, when occurs in groin.. Usually fungal infection is common in moist areas of body like skin folds..It's mostly circular or round in appearance.. May be red or black in colour.. Treatment depending on the type and severity.. Avoid sharing clothes, towels and soap; sweating also increases it..As it has to be differentiated from eczema, bacterial and viral infection, doctor need to see to confirm the diagnosis..So, meet me in my clinic or do direct online consultation by sending photos for detailed information and medicine for treatment.
