What Could Be Recurring Red Line Under Penis To Anus, Irritated, Red And Flaky Skin On Scrotum And Penis?

I have recurring red line down underside of penis to anus, non itchy very red, irritated flaky skin on scrotum and penis. No fungal creams to date have worked. I even tried 1 diflucan. My GP has no idea what the problem is and had put me on a course of erythmoycins and referred me to a dermatologist.

Hello,
Thanks for the query,
You might have developed fungal infection.
The area of groin is very moist and is prone to develop these infections.
Treatment can be with oral antifungals as well as with topical antifungals.
Various antifungal powders like candid are availabe.
These can help reduce the moisture as well as control the infection.
Please dont use any steroid, it can worsen your condition
Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
