Hi,
im a 16-year-old male, slightly
overweight, and for the past week or two,
i've had a serious problem.
I noticed an itch on my inner-left
thigh about two weeks ago, and made the
mistake of scratching it. Within the
next day or two, there was serious
inflammation (very red, and slightly
bumpy), and didnt stop itching. I put
some lotion on it, and that helped with
the itching, but sometimes I cant resist
the urge to scratch, and whenever I do, it
spreads (very quickly, within 6 hours or
so) to the area where I scratched!
My thighs often rub together, and I
think that's the reason that it has spread
(though not as badly) to my right-inner
thigh [there are several red spots, not
clustered, and less itchy, but very red
and very bumpy]
i'm not sexually active, so it did not
come from someone else, but im afraid that
it might spread to my scrotum and have
some lasting effect.
I want this to go away; I want it to go
back to normal, so please, help me.

There's been a small change:
i havnt been stratching at it, and the
rash on the inner-left-thigh has lessened
in redness (seems to be less intense) but
still itches like crazy, and is still a
noticeable pink.
There's been virtually no change on the
inner-right-thigh; still very red,
spread-out bumps (each individual bump is
a distance away from another one).
