I am a male. I have some infection on my groin area. Uncontrollable itching happens. I do itch it severely in the night time. It often comes in the summer time. I have been having this since years. It comes and goes off in a week or two. But I get black marks after it leaves. I can also attach a pic, but there is no option to.
