What Causes Rash In Inner Thigh With Leaking Pus?

Hi Doctor, In the last three days Ive noticed what I thought was a rash on my very inner thigh next to my testicles. It leaks a white pus in its entirety, but there are individual spots that are raised in an oval or circular pattern. Is this a symptom you recognize?

Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

In my opinion, it could be fungal infection (Tinea) or bacterial infection (Folliculitis). Fungal infection should be treated with Antifungal cream and tablets whereas bacterial infection should be treated with Antibiotic cream such as Mupirocin. As treatment differs for both conditions, do consult your Dermatologist to confirm the diagnosis and to initiate the treatment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
