Lumps on the inner thigh and swollen scrotum, what condition is this?

Patient's question:

Doctor: I am 38 years old and have had prostatitis for over ten years. In between, I experienced frequent urination and urgency again, and I have seen doctors and taken medication (Huanghua Minguo Pian, Qianmao Tong Jiaonang, Cephalosporin...). It provided some relief, but recently, my inner thigh has been extremely itchy and somewhat painful to touch, with a burning sensation around the anus. Now, the red bumps on my inner thigh have spread to the scrotum, which has also become red. The skin has thickened slightly but is not itchy. There is some itching in the inner thigh, and my partner says it's because I wear too many clothes, causing it to sweat. Doctor, what is this condition?

Doctor's answer:

Having lumps in the groin area with itching, the most common cause is a fungal infection. In this case, you can actively use antifungal medications to treat the affected area with topical creams, combined with oral medication, which should yield good results. Please observe carefully. Adjust your diet to be light and balanced.
For redness and swelling in the scrotum, the condition tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to actively seek treatment at professional and reputable hospitals. Treatment should be considered based on the results of thorough examinations.
