Dear Ask The Doctor: I have dark spots around my penis region and the areas itches. during summer the skin gets soft and some peels off.
Dear Rahul: The most common cause of a groin itch is due to tinea cruris, a fungal infection. The infection occurs due to the prolonged wetness in the groin areas due to sweating and the friction from the clothes. The effected area may appear red, scaly with itching. An anti-fungal cream with hydrocortisone (a steroid) will treat the infection and reduce the symptoms of itching. |
