Notes on Rash on my groin

Hello Tyler
https://patient.info/skin-conditions/sun-and-sunburn/prickly-heat-and-heat-rash-miliaria
You have what is often referred to as a sweat rash. I hope this link will help you.
You could try washing the area and applying a cream called Clotrimazole HC - a brand name you might recognise, is Canesten HC - The HC part is short for hydrocortisone. It is a mixture of a steroid cream [cortisone] and an anti fungal cream.
Have you spoken to your local pharmacist? Tell him you have a sweat rash in your groin and ask his advice.
Good luck.

Totally agree with MrsMop. Use a cream with clotrimazole to kill the fungus.You should be able to buy this in any pharmacy. You can also try washing the area in a dandruff shampoo that contains selenium sulphide.
Its very common. Wash your underwear in water at least 60 deg to kill any fungal spores and only wear cotton pants.

I've been putting it up there for about 4 days and it seems to have not gotten any better.
