What Could Be The Reason For Having A Red Rash Between His Thighs By His Scrotum And In The Creases?

I think my boyfriend has jock itch and he is in immense pain, and says it stings when he puts on the anti-fungal cream I got him.he developed a red rash between his thighs by his scrotum and in the creases where his legs meet. Its only been a couple of days but I did a lot of research on this rash but I was wondering if we should go to his doctor or urgent care just to be on the safe side because hes terribly embarassed over it and worried.its a deep red color and it doesnt itch but stings really bad to the point of him not being able to walk.im so worried!!! I dont think its herpes because I got tested right before we got together and I was clean, and hes only had sex with a handful of women and has been tested as well and came up clean as well. What should we do??!?!please help!!!

Hi,
From history it seems that there might be having fungal infection and now super added bacterial infection giving rise this problem.
He might require firstly a course of antibiotic medicine for 5-7 days.
Afterwards he might go for one course of oral anti-fungal medicine like Flucanozole 150 mg once ina week for 4 weeks.
Apply triple action cream after proper cleaning the part.
Advice him to maintain good local hygiene.
Ok and take care.
