Lot if itching in the groin area. After 3-4 hours the area is wet and there is an colorless, odorless fluid. The itching makes me MAD and i keep itching for like FOREVER. I try to keep the area clean and dry as much as possible. Can you tell me the reason for this problem and the cure for the same?
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. I understand your concern regarding itching which can be quite distressing. The reasons for itching in the groin area is most commonly due to fungal infections and contact irritation. The area of groin and upper thighs are having sweat glands that keep these areas moist and predispose them for fungal infections. Please keep the areas as Chat Doctor.  Avoid tight underwear and clothes. Local application of antifungal creams like clotrimazole twice daily for two weeks will help reduce the itching. Tab Atari 25 mg twice daily orally after food for the itching can be taken. If itching does not reduce, you need to get a fungal culture and sensitivity done for a skin sample from that area and get advice from a dermatologist. Thanks.
