Brief Answer:
The patch is due to fungal infection.
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX, Hi
Welcome to HCM.
I can understand your problem, there is nothing to worry, it will be alright in due course of time.
After having gone through your history I am of the opinion that you have some sort of fungal infection involving your private parts.
The allergic rash what you had developed after eating shrimp is subsided with the use of anti histamine drug Loratadine.
Antifungals (Clotrimazole or Terbinafine) containing are proved to be effective in such cases.
You can apply the cream on the affected area twice daily.
Keep the area clean and dry & wear loose cotton undergarments.
Hope to have answered your query.

Okay thank you. Just to be clear I want to describe the rash again, it's a patch along the moist folds the left and the right folds it looks like a patch of psoriasis I'm sure it is not that but it looks very similar to that, just to give you a clear picture I'm writing again and yes it's itchy sometimes and smelly.
Brief Answer:
Possibility of psoriasis can not be ruled out.
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX, Hi
Good morning.
Thanks for your kind reply.
Psoriasis patch usually appears as a raised, inflamed, red skin covered with silvery, white scales. This patch may itch and burn. The most common sites for this patch include elbows, knees, scalp, & the lower back.
However, a possibility of psoriasis can not be ruled out.
So, in my opinion a dermatologist opinion is highly recommended to confirm the diagnosis.
Wishing you best of your health.
