What is the reason for the skin near the testicles to weep after scratching?

Patient's question:

Inner thigh near the testicles, the skin is dark and often itchy, with scales similar to dry dust in the nails, then it oozes after scratching. What is the reason?

Doctor's answer:

Hello! According to the symptoms described, the recurrent itching in the groin accompanied by skin lesions is likely caused by a fungal infection leading to tinea cruris. You can apply miconazole cream topically and pay attention to personal hygiene. Avoid scratching the affected area with your hands to alleviate the condition. Change your clothes frequently, and wash your underwear with boiling water and expose them to sunlight. Maintain a light diet, avoid alcohol, smoking, and spicy, irritating foods. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
