  5. A few days ago, I started feeling some itching between my legs near my private area, and its spread a bit. Sometimes I feel the urge to scratch, but it seems to get worse if I do. Ive been applying moisturizer and Boroline antiseptic cream. Im also washing the area with soap regularly. Ill attach a few photos of how it looks now. Could you suggest a cream that might help and any precautions I should take to prevent it from getting worse?

Based on your description, it sounds like you may be experiencing a fungal infection in the groin area, also known as jock itch. To treat this, I recommend using an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole cream twice a day for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, you should keep the area clean and dry, wear loose-fitting cotton underwear, and avoid sharing towels or clothing with others to prevent spreading the infection.
