Dear user, you may be suffering from jock itch/ Tinea cruris (fungal infection). Keep the area dry as moisture will aggravate your fungal infection. Avoid applying over the counter creams and ointment containing topical steroids.

Hello Lybrate User,
Tinea cruris or itching in a groin is a fungal infection of the skin. It belongs to a group of fungal skin infections called�tinea. These microscopic fungi naturally live on the skin as well as on the hair and nails. They?re typically harmless, but they can multiply quickly and cause infections when they?re allowed to thrive in warm, moist areas. This is why jock itch usually develops in the skin around the groin, inner thighs, and buttocks. Tinea cruris is most common in men and adolescent boys. The infection causes a rash that often itches or burns. The affected areas can also be red, flaky, or scaly.
Take homeopathic treatment, it has a very good results for skin infection. If you want to take homeopathic treatment consult me on lybrate privately, along with follow this tips - * Wash the affected area thoroughly with soap and warm water. * Dry the affected area thoroughly after bathing and exercise.* Change clothes and undergarments every day.Wear loose cotton clothing. * Choose a mild cleanser and don't scrub. Using harsh soaps can aggravate your skin and make the situation a lot worse. Wash gently with warm water and a pH neutral, moisturizing. * Use plain Vaseline to soothe, protect, and heal the raw skin. Avoid creams with fragrance or fancy ingredients, they will likely irritate you more. Go see your doctor or primary health care provider. If things aren't getting better, you may have an infection. When the skin is broken, yeast and bacteria can settle in and you may have to use a medicated cream. Take care.

Itching in groin mainly causes due to taenia infection which is a fungal infection. Use of those external application will supresses the skin lesion. Supression of skin disease may cause bronchial asthma, gastritis and so many diseases. And more over it will not cure rather it can be virulent in form. Change your under garments regularly. Don't use soap on that area. Use coconut oil or olive oil only after undressing or whenever it itches. By proper homeopathic treatment in long term this is quite curable.
