Q: Smelly groin area
asked by: phil123125 on January 12th, 2009

Hi, for about the past year I have had this odor coming from below the belt. I cannot stand this smell any longer. I shower twice a day and scrub the region very well with dial soap (i've tried over 10 different soap brands). 15 minutes after the shower, the odor is back. Over the day my area (mostly the package) sweats and the smell gets worse and worse. Somedays it itches like crazy! I've tried baby powder, which seemed to help with the sweat and contained the smell only for about an hour or so. I don't know what to do... im worried that something may be wrong. Its gotten to the point where if I don't shower twice a day i have ppl such as my mother pointing out how bad i smell. The worst part is when it comes to the ladies and the insecurity of hoping she doesn't smell me.... Please help! Thanks,

Smelly groin area.
Yes this is common and I had it myself, what it is from is from showering and not being able to get all the wet areas in your groin area, an easy fix to to buy baby powder and pat some stuff down there after you dry off from taking a shower and it will feel and smell just like normal.

Hey phil123125
Most groin odor is usually fungal in nature. Like Kymart23 mentioned it's from residual water from showering but also from sweat gathering in the groin. I'd suggest you try an anti-fungal soap if only to wash your groin. It may take a few weeks but you should see a pronounced change.

well I just replied to this same question to somebody else one minute ago, but what you are describing sounds certainly like a fungal infection, unfortunately labelled "crotch rot". Make sure to keep the area dry with talcum powders for about 6 weeks, also get some lamisil or ketoconazole from a pharmacy and use it daily for 6 weeks after cleaning and drying the area. At a Dr. you can get the creams twice as strong, so better to go there. Yes, also, it would be unbearably itchy sometimes with crotch rot. It happens more than you would think, so dont feel bad about it. Remember it is very important to keep the area dry as often as you possibly can even if it means keeping paper towels with you and going to the pisser every 10 minutes to wipe the sweat off the groin if it's a very hot day!
