View allI've been dealing with this itching in my groin area for the last month, and it's really concerning me. There are red spots, and the skin's turned a darker color. I tried using betnovate n cream to help with the itch, but it hasn't worked at all. Sometimes I even get red lumps. What do you think this could be, and how should I treat it?
