He will not go to the doctor because he says that it is to embarrassing. The rash looks like a few cuts and is red. I have a picture of it if necessary.

I'd try the athletes foot Canesten?

Ilovecaindingle · 11/02/2017 20:44

Sudocrem?
Lets hurry with a remedy ladies before the photos appear!!

Juveniledelinquent · 11/02/2017 20:45

Sounds like thrush, so Canesten is a good suggestion.

OnHold · 11/02/2017 20:45

No need for a picture.

Tell him to try lamisil.

missyB1 · 11/02/2017 20:45

Could well be fungal they do sweat a bit in that region. I second the suggestion of canestan.

God please don't post a picture! Just tell him to man up and go to the doctors..the Dr will have seen it all before.
If he absolutely refuses to go to the Dr, an anti-fungal cream from the chemist is a good place to start.

Er... no pic pls. It's prob thrush. Buy Canestan at supermarket or pharmacy. Wash bedsheets and towels at 60 degrees and he should have a clean towel each time he showers. It's highly contagious so take care.

Tanfastic · 11/02/2017 22:53

Germoline. Bloody brilliant stuff. I whack it on everything that needs healing and it works wonders.

tobecontinued2000 · 11/02/2017 23:23

It could just be severe sweat rash. Is he particularly hairy there?

Wash and dry the area with a hairdryer and leave it to let the air get to it.

You could pop into the pharmacy to get a cream, I'm not sure which one would be best.

Ihatethedailymail1 · 11/02/2017 23:30

If it does not itch or hurt, how did he find it??!! The mind boggles!

As I clicked on this thread I was saying to myself, please don't let there be a photo, as it loaded!

teentraumas · 11/02/2017 23:34

Like a poster said further up, jock itch, or jock rot Blush
Lamisil way more effective than canestan for jock itch

As a skin specialist nurse I spend way too much time diagnosing rashes there Confused

Leggit · 11/02/2017 23:43

Does he suffer from psoriasis?

Eragonsegg · 11/02/2017 23:44

Grin at no pic please it's like the opposite of 'normal' MN!

TheoriginalLEM · 11/02/2017 23:48

Probably a sweat rash. but they are often uncomfortable. Get him to try some anti fungal cream or some hydrocortisone cream.
