I'm having this really persistent itching problem in the area between my legs, and it feels like it's been going on forever. It's super itchy and gives this intense burning sensation, almost like it's on fire. I tried some medicines I got from the local pharmacy - a tablet called LCetriver and a cream called Trioderm. They seemed to help, but as soon as I stopped using them, the itching flared up again, even worse. I should also mention that I've had a lot of body hair since I was a kid, and there's a lot in the itchy area too. Could my hormones be playing a part in this, and what should I do to finally get rid of this problem?

I've been having a lot of itching around my penis and testes lately. Scratching gives me temporary relief, but then it starts itching again. I've tried using Candid lotion, but it hasn't helped at all. I'm really consistent about bathing every day and even use cooling powders, yet the itchiness persists. It's pretty embarrassing because I can't stop myself from scratching in public sometimes. Also, there are visible red scratch marks between my penis and upper thighs. Can you help me figure out what might be going on and what I should do?
You may be experiencing a fungal infection in the groin area, also known as jock itch. In addition to maintaining good hygiene practices, you can try using an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole (brand name Lotrimin) twice a day for 2-4 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and wear loose-fitting cotton underwear to help reduce moisture and friction. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it's important to follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
