How to manage itchiness and burning on private parts?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern.

I understand this can be uncomfortable and embarrassing to talk about, but please do not worry. Groin itching, redness, burning, and smell in summer are very common issues in young males, especially in hot and humid weather. Since you have been having this problem for 1.5 years and it gets worse at night and with sweating, it is most likely a fungal infection of the groin (commonly called jock itch), but other conditions like intertrigo or secondary bacterial infection can also look similar. The burning and smell usually happen when the skin stays moist for long periods.

To guide you properly and avoid giving the wrong treatment, it would really help if you could share a clear picture of the affected area. Please make sure your privacy is fully protected. You can crop the image to show only the rash on the inner thighs or groin folds, without showing genitals or face. That will allow me to assess whether this is fungal, eczema, or something else and advise you correctly.

Meanwhile, for itching, you can take the tablet Allopurinol 10 mg once a day for five to seven days. Keep the general area dry, and avoid body wash as it can worsen any skin condition. Please get back with the pictures so that I can guide you better and give you the exact treatment.

I hope this information will help you.

Thanks.
