For the past 2 weeks I ve had an irritation in the. Crease of my thigh and groin ( where your elastic on your underwear would be). I ve never in my life experienced this. It came suddenly and I m not sure why. I m not nor have been sexually active for appx 5 years, I haven t changed soaps or detergents. What is this. Ive shaved but I have always groomed and nothing like this. Fine bumps that itch on and off.

Hi there.

This could be Tinea fungal infection in the groin. Avoid sweat accumulation, change your underwear regularly, avoid sunlight exposure. Apply antifungal ointment like Clotrimazole with steroid for relief.
