A red rash in my genital area just showed up on my left side and before I could treat it, the rash had a distinct odor  like my flesh was decaying, after treating it with a ointment that my wife had received earlier from her doctor for a rash of some sort I applied it and the rash disappeared. Several days later the rash reappears but now its on my right side, its has distinct red line with some redness along side of it, I find that vaseline and a ointment I purchased with cortisone in it has helped, I just applied some vitamin E to the area to see if that would help the enfected area what do you think.
Hi, Your rash could a Tina courts (Fungal infection of groin region). This condition can be masked by application of steroid cream. So, I would recommend you not to apply any steroid cream till the diagnosis of Tina courts is ruled out by a Dermatologist.  I request you to kindly visit your Dermatologist to arrive at an accurate diagnosis. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
