What Causes Rashes In The Groin Area?
I have had a rash in my groin area for the entire summer. I thought it was from golfing and sweating – I got cream and applied all summer and it hasn t helped at all. I have known not golfed for 2 full weeks and with the cooler weather was hoping it would be better - if anything it is worse. It is certainly not any better.
