What Are The Red Blisters On The Groin Between Thigh And Pubic Area Which Are Itchy?
The skin in the area near my groin between my thigh and pubic area, that crease was very itchy. I just went to put cream on it after scratching and realized that it looks like red spots almost like blisters, and there's a red line where the skin is split. Not bleeding, but very red and definitely split. Is this due to chafing or could it be something else?

Hi,
I can understand your concern for itchy red blisters on the groin between thigh and pubic area
After reading your query it appears to be fungal infection of groin area. You have not told us your age and any other problem.
Fungal infection of the skin is quite common in this hot weather and the further spread of infection to nearby of other parts at the groin area site .
To prevent the further spread maintain good hygiene by taking two times bath, wearing cotton clothes and change of clothes two times. You can also use nay good medicated antiperspirant powder. Stay away from hot and humid climate.
You can use clotrimazole cream or terbinafine cream locally over the affected areas.
I advise you to take anti-fungal tablet by mouth such as fluconazole 150 mg alternate days under dermatological supervision.
Take care
