I'm dealing with this boil on my right buttock, and it's really painful. Sometimes, the pain even causes me to run a fever. The skin around it has turned red and looks pretty inflamed. Any idea what I should do about it?

I've been having some problems with my skin around the testis and thighs; it's really itchy and there's a lot of redness. It feels like there's a lot of heat coming from that area, and I've noticed some fungus too. I've been trying propygenta NF and using dreamsoap, but it just doesnt seem to help. Any suggestions on what I could do?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a fungal infection in the groin area. I recommend using a combination of Clotrimazole cream and Terbinafine cream twice daily for 2 weeks. Additionally, you can take Tablet Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 4 weeks to treat the infection effectively. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, wear loose-fitting clothes, and avoid sharing towels or clothing to prevent further spread of the infection.

I'm really worried about this severe itching and rash I've been having near my private parts, specifically around the inner thigh area, and it's been going on for about a week now. It's also getting wet in that spot, and I'm not sure what's causing it or how to make it stop. What could this be and should I be doing something about it?

Dermat opinion.
