It could be jock itch. Best treated with anti fungal cream available over the counter.

Is jock itch bad ?

in reply toChris3108

No it’s very common and not serious. Often comes as a result of sweating, after exercising or wearing tight underwear. Just wash your groin, dry it well and apply the cream. It should go away in a few days

Okay I’m just scared coz I had penile neoplasia when they found it in my foreskin but they removed it when I got circumsised this couldn’t still be that ? :(

in reply toChris3108

I’m not qualified to comment on that. If you are worried it might be best to see a doctor to put your mind at rest.

Try Athlete’s Foot cream on it.

If you have had previous pre-cancerous lesions on your penis it would be prudent to have it checked by a doctor.

You recon

Because of the possible causation - HPV infection - the condition can re-occur. Partners of people with HPV infection can also be at risk. I do believe it would be worthwhile getting it checked out by a doctor or a dermatologist

Hey Chris, it's called human pappillomavirus. It's the cause of, among other things, cervical cancer.

It's a good thing you got rid of that foreskin. All boys/men with severe phimosis should be getting circumcised. The anti-circumcision activists are so wrong. You are lucky that the cancer has been limited to your foreskin!

Timmy, it is quite possible for an HPV related pre-cancerous condition to re-occur elsewhere than the initial site. This is why Chris should get his problem checked by a doctor or dermatologist.

Of course you are right. He should get it checked by a doctor.

Keep a watchful eye on this because it looks similar to cellulitis and you don't want to mess around with that as it can be at worst case deadly.... I'm not saying that will happen or that you have that type of infection...it can be what you thought it was... Just chafing... Is it painful or hot to the touch? If so I would say go to the doctor... You may need antibiotics.... If you do start antibiotics you would do well to use a antifungal cream in the area to avoid an opportunistic fungal infection as antibiotics can cause that. If you are diabetic then all the more reason to follow my advice. Good luck.

Try and get the ointment called calmoseptine....if it is chafing then that stuff will knock it out real quick
