Hi guys,
This is a useful blog. I have two red areas on each inner thigh, right next to my balls. I thought it started on holiday from being in the hotel pool or something! It was itching real bad for two nights, but I bought some antifungal cream...
The area has spread so it's like two beer mat sized shapes of red with little red dots...
Hopefully if I keep using the cream it will go away? There's no sign of drying up or flakes yet?
I'm a bit scared to masturbate or have sex or trim my hair until this business has cleared up!
Let me know how you guys are getting on! Haha.
;-)

Hey all!
I have a similar condition: It started as a burning itch in the night on holiday, it felt really good scratching it of course - until i hurt and went really red! I bought some antifungal cream when back in the UK, but it seems to have made the red areas larger, one is like a CD size almost! And little red dots...
I will see a doctor in two weeks time when back at university.. so hopefully I won't turn into an alien before then!
I'm trying to avoid the following regular activities:
Sunbeds
Sex
Swimming Pools
Masturbation
Shaving in that area
If anyone knows that these are all fine while having the rash.. please let on!

Use cream ( I use regular skin lotion) and baby powder the insides of your boxers around the groin area.
works like a charm.

Funny how all these stories are the same. I noticed a patch of red itchty dry skin in my inner left thigh. In an effort to get rid of it, I was spraying on lotrimin or lamisil (I forget which one). After a couple of days, my entire ball sack turned bright red and leathery. I was in so much pain I couldnt even walk. I actually had to take myself to the emergency room it was so bad. From there, they sent me to a dermatologist. He took a sample of it and claimed it was a "yeast infection". He gave me anti biotics which got rid of it. I had to use tighty whitey underwear so that my balls wouldnt rub again my leg. It was the worst f*****g pain I ever had. Plus my balls looked like they were rotting away.
About 2 years later I used a tiny bit of Lotrimin on my thigh for the same reason and I immediately noticed my sack turning red & shiny again. I immediately stopped using the product.

I shaved myself with an Electric Razor in the morning & from evening the scratching started on inner thighs & when I scratched redness appeared.
This extended to itching on scrotum & penis area - all areas where hair growth had been shaved.
I used unscented coconut oil after cleaning the area with Dettol / Savlon.
The itching stopped but every time I went to pee & the area was exposed the entire scratching sensations restarted.
I stopped wearing undergarments to air myself but this did not help.
I started wearing tight undergarments & it helped.
Anti-fungal cream for secondary fungal infection eased the problem to a large extent.
I also changed my food habit to intake food which cool the body only vegetable diet & maybe the coconut oil provided the skin with the oil for dryness & cooling effect, which I applied liberally thrice a day.
I did not go to a dermatologist, but will now as the itching has reduced & redness is reduced.
Maybe the cause was the water borne or removal of hair - which has been provided by nature to all in the area for some specific reason & from now on at least I wont cut the hairs again & fool around with what nature gave naturally.

hey there guys, found this site useful for ideas...I got rid of the same sounding thing the same way people get rid of ezema on their hands in the hospital where I work. for hands the nurses etc wear gloves at night and put a lot of lotion, vaseline or vitamin E oil on their hands...for the scrotum I used a sandwich bag or saran wrap. the idea is to keep the skin with the oil/cream whatever for an extended period and keeping it from drying out.. My scrotum was getting worse each day for a week, but was gone in 3 days after doing this. About 2 weeks later it started to come back, but one day of the same and it was completely gone again. Hope it works for some other guys too..

radamsfo -- can you give some more details about your technique. I have the same symptoms. Thanks.

I got pretty much the same symptoms as described through whole topic. Red scrotum, pretty warm all the time. When it started i also had it on the top of my thighs where it was also red with little white top layer showing up few hours after shower, combined with strange nasty smell. I used lamisil for about 1.5 months and things got a bit better, itching stopped, red spot on thighs went away, but i still got red shiny looking scrotum. This is going on for about 5 months now. For last 2months i am using cream named Dextarin that dermatologist prescribed. Meantime i also used vinegar mixed with little water.
Things seem to get better once in a while, some day scrotum looks pretty normal. But 12h later its all back to as it was. I shower regular and always completely dry scrotum after it. I got a bit of a problem with sweating tho and this might be the reason why i cant get rid of this. I also tried with cooking the underwear, wearing boxers, wearing no underwear .....
I just cant get rid of this.

I've been researching this stuff for months. I can't believe how many guys have this problem, and in particular how many of us got this after sex. Yet, I've shown at least 10 doctors my raw, burning, swollen, sweaty, leather, baggy, mutilated scrotum and they don't seem to care enough to figure out the cause, nor do they think it's an infection. Apparently my immune system must have decided to eat my scrotum alive? (sarcasm) So far I have tried loads of antibiotics, diflucan, every topical anti-fungal cream on the market (yes including the miconazole nitrate (monistat)), loads of homeopathic treatments including diluted tea tree oil. I've tried leaving the area alone and taken extreme measures to keep it cool and dry all the time. I'm even on an anti-fungal diet. The rash simply will not die, and every time I think I'm making progress it flares back up and even spreads to areas I thought were ok. The skin peels off and I have erosions/lesions and now I even have what are most likely permanent scars. I'm about to request a biopsy, but apparently I need a congressional order to get that done.

I got the same thing while on holiday. Sex with my seven year wife and a swim in the pool are the only connections with the rest of you though. This is the same two things over and over on this forum. one is a bad jock itch and the other is a bad yeast infection. if the anti fungal medicine does not work, then you need to change your life style to kill off the yeasts. While on vacation, i did not eat or sleep very good. this lowered my immune systems regular functioning ability. I do think that i got it from my wife SOME HOW. I have been told that a jock itch will not hit the bottom of the penis. there are lots of places on line to learn how to fight off yeast infections. I think that all of the good information seems to cost money. But, if you avoid foods that feed yeasts, (shugars and starches that turn into sugar after ingested) it will help. Good luck to all of you and I hope that I helped.

Yea guys i seem to have the same symptoms , 'inner thigh flaps next to the scrotum' very itchy & red as well as some scaling, the scrotum hasn't been affected yet but ive been putting up with terrible itching in the high inner thigh area, looked up in Webmd & self diagnosed myself with Jock Itch which is basically the same fungus that causes baby's Diaper rash, athletes foot & even females yeast infection , am relieved now , ive been practicing better hygiene, washing a lot & drying up well after my shower then i used some powder & it helped sooth a lil bit but finally i bought some generic lamisil with 1% terbinafine hydrochloride & it seems to b clearing up , as to the fella that said he let his athletes foot go on 4 too long & that might of started his jock itch he's absolutely right ! In my reading on Webmd it says 1 must b very careful when u have athletes foot or jock itch cus when u pull down your underwear or vice-versa u can spread the subsequent fungus to either the feet or groin, wash thoroughly & dry up well after exercise guys & youll b alright , 'what a relief' lol
