I'm dealing with a really painful rash on my scrotum that feels almost like it's turning into a wound. It's super uncomfortable and I'm not sure what to do. Can you help me figure out some remedies or advice on what steps I should take? I'm in a lot of pain and just need some guidance.

I recommend using an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole (Canesten) twice a day on the affected area. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry, wearing loose cotton underwear, and avoiding any potential irritants can help with the healing process. If the rash does not improve or if you develop any other symptoms, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation.
