I've noticed that the skin around my penis and testicles has turned red and it's really itchy. It seems like there's some kind of sticky liquid discharge too. I've never been sexually active, so I'm unsure about what's happening. Could this be an infection or something else, and what should I do about it?

Use an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% twice a day on the affected area for 1-2 weeks. Keep the area clean and dry, and avoid wearing tight clothing. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I've been experiencing a lot of itching under my testicles and around my anus, and sometimes it gets pretty intense. I'm not sure if there's a cream I can use to help with this, or if I should be seeing a doctor instead. Any ideas?

I'm dealing with this really itchy waist and groin area, and it's been going on for like 18 months now. I'm pretty sure my hygiene's top-notch, so I'm wondering if maybe I caught this from using public toilets? I've been to a few doctors alreadyone thought it was mites, another said it was a fungal thing, and the last suggested it might be bacterial. But none of their treatments have worked, and I'm still stuck with this problem. Do you have any idea what else this could be or what I should do next?

Probable diagnosis is fungal infection.
