Q: Some Sort of Rash

In between my testicles and the inner part of my right leg is a a long, sort of thin rash I think. It is very red, and sometimes is a thin line of white. It's really itchy and annoying.You cant really smell anything, but when im naked and I lean in to get a close look, or I touch it, there is a horrible smell, worse than stinky feet. I go in tanning beds, dont know if that effects anything, I started having sex with my girlfriend, at least 2-4 times a week. But she is completely clean as far as I know, there are no markings on her or anything formed on her. We use both male and female condoms, and also store bought lubricant. Dont know if my age has anything to do with this, but I am only 17, too scared to go to my parents about this or my doctor. Can anyone help me please?

Did you ever consider that you may be having an allergic reaction.

Nothing serious, but if you are still 17, you are probably still covered under your parents health insurance plan. Go to the parent you feel most comfortable with and go see the doctor.

Just to let you know, you could have picked up a rash from nearly anything in this world.

I don't think anything has to do with your girlfriend, so relax on that end. Keep using protection, you'll be fine.

I have recently got this too, it is sore an man it smells really bad. I was wondering if it went away for you of did you do anything about it. I'm bit concerned. I know it's usually worse if i've been out walking and sweat. I hope you can offer some advice

Sounds alot like a fungus infection to me. If you really don't want to talk to your parents here's an idea you can try - if it doesn't help, talk to your parents and get to a doctor!!!

Get some anti fungus powder (same thing used for athlete's foot) and try using that for a couple of days. Keep the area as dry as possible and apply the powder as needed a couple of times a day.

If its a simple fungus infection, that should clear it up. If its something more serious like an allergy or whatever, talk to your parents and get to a doctor.
