I've been dealing with some itching in my crotch area and inner thigh, and there's also a noticeable smell. I think it might be because I work out but only shower about twice a week. I just picked up Candid TV suspension and itch guard from the chemist. I'm wondering if using these will fix the issue or if there's more I should be doing. Also, is it okay to use soap in the groin area, or should I avoid it?
