DS groin scaling?

[BumblingBird]

Ds has been complaining about an itchy groin that’s red, irritated and scaly skin. Could this be jock itch, would sudocrem be handy?

What age?
Might need antifungal cream

12 next month

When i had a similar issue I was prescribed a combined antifungal/hydrocortisone cream and told to dry properly after washing.
Maybe ask the pharmacist or see a GP

I think you need more than sudocrem. Agree ask a pharmacist and make a GP appointment.

Thanks both, yeah I’ll book a GP appointment tomorrow. He told me today was painful because he felt itchy but was at school all day, said it’s been itchy for a week

Do you have any canesten or cream for athletes foot that you could stick on it for now?

I don’t sadly :(

what was it you had if you don’t mind me asking?

That could take many months to shift. Fungal things are murder in the warm weather Im dark damp sweaty places.

@BumblingBird think the general term is Intertrigo. Happens in sweaty folds of the skin. Don't think it was helped by me being perimenopausal and going to sports classes a lot and maybe not drying properly after showering

Thank you, he does have a full wash every two days, maybe I should make it once a day instead?
