I'm really worried because I've been having these tears in the skin below my scrotum and above the anus for about three months. Initially, it wasn't that bothersome, but now it's started itching quite a bit for the past 45 days. I'm using this Konaz anti-fungal cream, but it doesn't seem to be helping at all. What could be causing this, and what should I do to get some relief?

Thats unusual,visit General Physician for appropriate approach.and maintain balanced diet and healthy lifestyle
