Acanthosis Nigricans: This could be acanthosis nigricans, which in your case, may be caused by Insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia. Usually you don't have symptoms, but sometimes it could be itchy. Have your doctor take a look at it to make the correct diagnosis. Good luck!

Photo: Can you take a photo and post?  WOuld be most helpful.  If itchy, then most likely "jock itch". Best to treat with OTC athletes foot cream 2 times a day until rash gone then one a day for one more week.  Hope this was helpful.  Best of luck with this.  Dr R

Question 5

i have a rash on my inner thigh towards my groin. it doesn't itch but it slightly burns and has a few red bumps in the rash. my inner thigh is also tender. do i need to get this looked at?

Accepted Answer

: It will be a good idea to have a doctor look at it as it is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without examining the rash.
For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. 
Get HPV and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!

Question 6

red patch in groin area itches?

Accepted Answer

Could be: A simple as a basic fungal infection - so called jock itch/tinea crura.  But it also could be related to yeast, a bacteria known as corynebacteria(erythrasma), "inverse" psoriasis or just plain irritation.  It's hard to say without seeing it but odds are it's likely "jock itch".  You could consider trying over the counter Lotrimin (clotrimazole) to see if it helps.  Otherwise seek the input of your doctor.

Question 7

i have a sever itch the groin area there's no signs or rashes there nothing but it itches like crazy what could this be?

Accepted Answer

Several things: Groin rashes/itches could be fungal, and you just do not see a rash yet. Could be a bug-like "crabs/mites" that you do not see or scabies.  These are all guesses so do not get scared, just see your dr for an evaluation and the real answer. Good luck.

Question 8

it first started with a small itches on my arm then it started to grow in circle. slowly it spreaded all over the body(especially in butt and groin)?

Accepted Answer

Need more info: As you might imagine it is hard to make a diagnosis without visualizing the problem. Your symptoms are significant and should be addressed promptly by seeing your family physician or a dermatologist who can be recommended by your family physician.

Question 9

a boil in groin has drained out and it seems to have healed but it at times it itches a-lot. what could be causing that?

Accepted Answer

: A boil often itches just before it becomes painful &amp; tender. I assume that your infection has resolved, but some residual skin sensitivity in the form of itching remains. If there's absolutely no signs of inflammation present, you could apply a very thin amount of mild cortisone ointment to relieve itching.

Question 10
