I've always had these dark patches on both sides of my scrotum, but the one on the left is bigger. I thought maybe it was because of sweat since I usually sleep on my left side. Recently, though, I've not been bathing as regularly, and with the summer heat, I've been sweating a lot around my groin area. Now those dark patches have spread to my thighs and maybe under the scrotum too, and they're itching really badly. Could this be jock itch? When I wash it, the skin looks a bit red, but it's mostly dark and has a different texture. I've got a couple of concerns. Can tinea cruris get this bad so suddenly? Like, I didnt have any itching a few days ago, and now its spreading super fast. And what about those dark patches from before? Were they just because of sweat, or was it something else? How long do you think it will take to heal if I use over-the-counter clotrimazole?

View allI recently had unprotected sex during my period, and a couple of days later, I noticed red rashes on the head of my penis with a slight itching sensation. Should I be worried about these symptoms, and what could be causing them?
The symptoms you are experiencing could be due to a possible infection. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer of the cream on the affected area twice a day for about 1-2 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole 150mg as a single dose. It is important to maintain good hygiene and avoid any sexual activity until the symptoms resolve completely. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
