What Causes Red Rash Above My Genital Area?

Hello, I am a 16 year old male. I do not have any std s or any known skin conditions as of my knowledge so far. I ve noticed over the past month or so an reddish pink oval shape rash type looking spot about as big as a quarter above my genital area.. It didn t bother me before but it s getting slightly worse and more noticeable.. It is not itchy.. And it doesn t bother me at all. I am an athlete and I play 2 sports. What could this be?

Hi.
As per your case history you are having fungal infection called as tinea corporis.
My treatment advice is –

1. Maintain good hygiene and bath twice daily.
2. Apply an antifungal cream like clotrimazole cream twice daily on it.
3. Take an antihistamine like levocetirizine for 7-10days .
4. Other treatment options are oral fluconazole, itraconazole and terbinafine given only after consulting a dermatologist.

Thanks.
