I Have A Severe Rash On The Scrotum. It Started

I have a severe rash on the scrotum. It started out just with extreme itchiness for a few days to a week and then when i finally looked at it the entire scrotum was red and irritated and itchy. I bought some antifungal antibacterial foot powder and have been using it liberally for nearly the last week to no avail. Today after shower and washing the area it was incredibly bright red, and sore/burning. Rash seems to be exclusively on the entire scrotum but has spread to the bottom base of my penis shaft and about halfway up. Area there is dry and scaly/bumpy. When drying out after shower i noticed the scrotum rash was secreting a clear sticky substance as well and the skin there was raw. Please advise me on what i can do to clear this up, as I am terrified with anything going on in this area and also am forced to put my romantic life on hold till this is solved. On a side note, i have recently moved to a hot climate and been sweating more as it is moving into spring and hot temperatures. Hoping this is more to do with it being something fungal and temporary as opposed to an STI. Please help!
