Doctors..can u please help me..I don't know why I am having Itching in pubic area..I didn't have anything like this before,I don't have itching on genitals and all..its just in left inner part of thigh near genitals,
I have attached picture of it, please look into it and say what is it,I am getting too scared,like it itches sometimes also when my inner wear rubs on it,I feel burning kind of,very lightly,
I can't even ask this to anyone..I am feeling too ashamed what's going on,I can't say to my parents also,as it has happened in such parts, please check what it is..I am hoping it's not serious,like is it just a normal rash?? Or please say what it is

You may be suffering from tinea cruris which is fungal infection of the inner thighs, groin and buttocks area. It is also called jock itch. It can be treated by taking four to six weeks of anti fungal treatment which includes tablets along with creams. Do not use soap over that area. Mistreatment with over the counter Steroid containing creams like fourderm, panderm, quadriderm, dermi5, cloben g betnovate, dermikem OC, candid b etc lead to repeated case of recurrence and also side effects due to application. Do not use steroid containing combination creams. Please contact me using online consult option with photos for detailed prescription. Do not delay treatment as it may spread further on your body and also to other people living in the household
