Brief Answer:
Please provide some extra information.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thank you for using "Ask a doctor" service.

Can you upload a photo of the scar?
Does it smell? Is it wet with pus or liquid?
Is it itchy?

It can be a fungal infection. Do you wear tight pants? Is there any chance that that area has been tight and sweaty the last times?

Please provide as much information as possible and I will be happy to advice properly.

Looking forward to your follow up question.

Kind regards,
Dr. Klarida Papaqako
