Rash Between Testicle And Thigh, Itching, White Bumps. Been To Beach. Remedy?

Hi I'm am 14 and for awhile my balls have itched for awhile. I thought it was cause I was at the beach and sand somehow got in there. But now there is a rash between my right testicle and my upper thigh. And there are little white bumps. I am not sexually active but I do master bait sometimes. I'm really worried I don't know what to do!!!

Hi friend ..
Thanks for using HCM ...

There is nothing to be worried .. You are likely to have Jock itch an ringworm infection which is a treatable cause of disease .
I would suggest you to apply clotrimazole ointment on affected region and clean the affected part with antibacterial solution to get rid of dead skin cells and keep the pores unclogged. Local application of diluted tea tree oil is considered to be very beneficial. Tea tree oil has strong anti microbial properties, which help in keeping the skin of the scrotum clean.
Avoid using tight-fitting under wears or pants, as these would only worsen the condition.
Avoid sharing towels, clothes or wash cloths with anyone.
Avoid shaving pubic hair too closely, as they can increase the risk of folliculitis, which can spread on to the scrotum.

Hope this information is useful ..
Take care.
