I'm dealing with a really embarrassing issue and I'm not sure what to do about it. I've got this onion-like smell coming from my inner thighs and around my pannis area. Every time I walk, it's like the skin is peeling away like mud, and the area just stays wet all the time. Whenever I try wearing underwear, it starts itching a lot. I feel too embarrassed to see a doctor face-to-face about it. Could this be something serious? How should I handle it?
