I've been dealing with a really itchy crotch and butt for a while now, and its really bothering me. Whenever I scratch, these scalelike things show up, and Ive noticed that the area looks darker compared to the surrounding skin. The itchiness is worse at night, and if I scratch too much, some fluid starts to come out. What could be causing this, and how can I fix it?

I've got this small, round red spot on my hip, and I suspect it might be some sort of fungal infection. I've been applying a cream called Bactafuz, which has fusidic acid in it. But I'm not sure if it's really the right treatment for this. Do you think I'm using the right cream for this kind of infection, or should I be trying something else? It's been worrying me, and I'd love to hear your thoughts on it.
