Itching in genital area
I had jock itch a couple of weeks ago. Consulted a doctor and improved really well in first 3 days. A week later I stopped using the cream. I started itching again in the genital area, near buttocks and waistline. Small pimple like bumps occurred. Thinking it to be scabies, except I don't have any itching anywhere else or nothing near hands or anything. Is it scabies or anything else? They look like small bumps in a group near waistline and buttocks. Is it jock itch or heat rash or scabies ? Is there any particular symptom to differentiate between scabies ?

Severe itch and bumps in scabies....Fungal infection or Ring worm.. when occurs in groin, called as jock itch.. Usually fungal infection is common in moist areas of body like skin folds..It's mostly circular or round in appearance.. May be red or black in colour.. Treatment depending on the type and severity.. Avoid sharing clothes, towels and soap; sweating also increases it..As it has to be differentiated from eczema and infection, its a must to see and confirm the diagnosis for proper treatment..So, please send photos of the affected area for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
