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?
