Patient's question:
Duration of onset and persistence of the illness: About a week..I had intense itching on the inner thigh a while ago, which turned out to be tinea cruris. It was cured with Clotrimazole. However, at the same time, itching appeared in the scrotum. Now the scrotum is quite red, with a rash-like appearance, and there is very noticeable wrinkling... Currently, I am applying Dexamethasone ointment, but it has not shown significant effectiveness.
What disease could this be... How should it be treated??
Thank you!!
