Ive been having itching near my penis and testes. It feels better temporarily after scratching, but then it comes back. Ive tried using Candid lotion but it hasnt helped at all. Even though I bathe every day and use cooling powders, the itching keeps happening. Its really embarrassing because I cant stop scratching, and there are visible red marks between my penis and upper thighs. What could be causing this and what should I do to treat it?

You may be experiencing a fungal infection in the groin area, also known as jock itch. In addition to maintaining good hygiene practices, you can try using an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole (brand name Lotrimin) twice a day for 2-4 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and wear loose-fitting cotton underwear to help reduce moisture and friction. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it's important to follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
