Rashes on skin on upper part of thigh.
It's been over a month now since it's started. There's an itching sensation on the upper area of my left thigh, near my penis. I don't know which doctor to consult, and coz it's in that area, I have an awkward feeling. It's extremely uncomfortable and I can't even wear my underwear properly. The skin there is slightly swollen like, and once I start itching, then I can't stop. My skin there is black in colour. I first thought it was just dirty, but no matter how much I scrub, it won't go. Please help me find a solution to this problem.

Hi !You can be having fungal infection.
Fungal infection tends to affect folds of the skin, moist areas like groins, armpits, mouth, genitals, under the breasts, webs between fingers and toes, etc. Our skin protects us from fungal/yeast attack, but any cut or break in the continuity of the skin can allow penetration of fungus. It gives rise to rash, eruptions, redness, burning, intolerable itching and abnormal discharges at times. Fungal infection tends to last for many years if not treated well. It is also contagious
