Why is my groin smelly and dark?

Patient's Query

i am having smelly groin and it is also becoming dark idk why plz help me with it

Answered by Dr. Madhu Sudan

This could be due to a common fungal infection called jock itch, which thrives in warm, moist areas. It can cause odor and darkening of the skin. To tackle this, keeping the area clean and dry is key. Wearing breathable cotton underwear, using antifungal creams, and avoiding tight clothing can all help. If things persist or worsen, it's best to see a sexologist for a proper evaluation and treatment.

I applied hair removal spray on my chest and legs. Now I am feeling itchy and red rashes have appeared on my legs.

Male | 24

Itchy and red rashes are some of the common signs of sensitivity when your skin's non-acceptance is projected. This might be due to the presence of certain chemicals in the spray to which your skin is sensitive. Perhaps, you should try a gentle body lotion to reduce the itching and rashes.

My name is Eric, am 31 years old. My problem is growing with visible veins, I am not developing in structure What should I do please?

Male | 31

Visible veins can be caused by a variety of things including genetics, physical activities, or low body fats. Though it may be alarming, this is typically a normal genetic trait. To aid the flow of blood through the vein, stay active, eat a balanced diet, and drink plenty of fluids. Should you experience any pain or other symptoms, it is best to see a doctor who is qualified to give you the medicine that is best for you. They will carefully evaluate your condition and suggest a course of treatment specifically adjusted to your needs.

Skin atrophy is the thinning of the skin and it can happen for different reasons like aging, steroid abuse, or some medical conditions. Skin atrophy is the major issue and it is necessary to use gentle lotions and creams to keep your skin moisturized to solve it. Refrain from harsh chemicals and cover your skin from the sun. Eating a balanced meal full of vitamins and minerals can also help your skin. Always bear in mind that the major reason for taking good care of the skin is for the overall well-being of the body.

According to what you mentioned, you may have developed cheek pain without any redness or feeling cold. This can a condition known as trigeminal neuralgia which causes sudden and severe facial pains. Make sure you rest, use warm moist clothes on your face then take over-the-counter painkillers. However, if it does not improve or gets worse then you need to see a doctor for further advice.

The spots may be of different types in babies. Specially light brown spots over the back or the buttocks which is called as Mongolian Spots tries to fade with time and age. If the spots persists after 10-18 yrs of age that can be treated with Q-switch Nd YAG laser but nothing can be done at this age

Mere chest me dard ho raha hai or eyes me dard ho raha hai or chicks me dard hai

Male | 18

You're feeling the blood in your chest, your eyes are aching, and tenderness in your cheek area. In some instances, chest pain can be caused by heart problems. The reason behind the eye pain can be either the strain or infection. The cause of cheek pain may be a sinus problem. Ensure that you take breaks, consume water, and do not rub your eyes. If the pain persists, medical assistance should be sought to determine the exact cause and receive the appropriate treatment.
