Is Red Bumps And Itchy Groin Area Fungal Infection?
I am a male and was recently treated for scabies. Its been about a month but i am now suffering from a chafed buttocks and still have occasional small red bumps and itching in the groin area. Do you think I could have a fungal infection in the groin area as I was first diagnosed with jock itch before being treated for scabies?

Hello,
Thank you for your contact to health care magic. I understand your concern. If I am your doctor I suggest you that yes it is possible to have you a fungal infection. I advice you to do KOH examination from scraping of the skin. If its fungal infection it will be treated by candid ointment.
I will be happy to answer your further concern
