Cracks On Inner Thighs And Scrotum, Burns When Touched. Creams Give Timely Relief. How To Get Rid ?
Hello, I have cracks on my inner thighs and scrotum . In the seems. They burn when touched. I have put powder. Certain creams, alcohol, peroxide , iodine . All it does stops the burning. Also, starting to see the red skin getting bigger. I climb trees for Townsend tree service, so I know that not helping. Could you tell me what I might have? Where I got it? How to get rid of it? And if it is a fungus, could my spouse have given it to me.

You seem to have repeated episodes of intertrigo. This is combined bacterial and fungal infection of the skin. u can apply candid cream on the area twice a day .that will give you relief from the burning sensation and cracks.
It happens due to conditions if heat and humidity. Due to the accumulation of sweat the fungus and the bacteria get a chance to grow and cause symptoms.
Hope this helps. Take care
