Rash in the groin

Unfortunately, the rash in the groin at the present time is not considered a rare phenomenon. It occurs quite often, both in the stronger sex and in the beautiful half of the population. When there is a rash on the skin directly in the groin area, it can serve as a signal of various diseases.

So, this may be a sign of some infectious diseases, such as herpes or various fungal infections. It also speaks of possible dermatological diseases, which are transmitted, as a rule, through sexual intercourse (for example, syphilis). And can be oncological (tumors of the genital organs) or inflammatory skin diseases (psoriasis or contract dermatitis).

The rash in the groin has many kinds. Therefore, it is necessary to clearly define which type of disease a person has. This will help not only to correctly diagnose, but also to prescribe the course of the most effective treatment. It should be noted that only an experienced specialist can diagnose any kind of this disease.

Following the above, it is worth remembering that there is a huge number of the most common ailments that can cause the appearance of various kinds of neoplasms on the mucous membranes and skin of the genital organs. But in this situation, a rash in the groin area is almost any modification of the genital skin. Here, spots, acne, vesicles, tubercles, plaques, erosion, dots and others can appear.

And only in rare cases the cause of the disease is determined by its external form. Without knowing the source, you can not talk about treatment, because dermatological diseases differ from each other. And therefore they can obey absolutely different therapeutic principles.

It is recommended to consult a dermatologist when there is a rash in such cases:

• Any type of rash does not last for more than two weeks, with no changes for the better.
• There is severe itching and swelling of the genitals.
• Reddish spots are more or less well delineated, and on their surface there is slight peeling.
• Bubbles filled with a clear, bloody or cloudy liquid.
• Rash in the groin can occur after unprotected intercourse with a person who is the carrier of any sexual infection.
• The temperature rises or the inguinal lymph nodes increase.
• It can be in the form of a deep ulcer, both painful and absolutely painless.
• Formation on the mucous membranes or on the skin of wounds, which for two or three weeks do not heal.

It should be noted that the rash in the groin is progressive. Therefore, it is so important not to postpone her treatment. After all, the skin in this area is characterized by its anatomical, biochemical and physiological characteristics. Therefore, all diseases associated with rash, have a certain classification.

If it manifests itself in the form of plaques or papules, it indicates psoriasis, candidiasis or chronic itching dermatitis. In the form of blisters and vesicles - about acute contact dermatitis, pemphigus or impetigo. If it is a stain, then most likely it is a signal about seborrheic dermatitis, inguinal dermatophytosis or erythrasis.

When the manifestation is observed in the form of pustules, this indicates the presence of either candidiasis or furunculosis. Chronic itchy dermatitis is also signaled by lichenification. Signs of candidiasis, psoriasis, inguinal dermatophytosis, erythrasis, seborrheic dermatitis and subacute itching dermatitis can be scales. When in the groin area crusts are formed, it is definitely an itchy dermatitis. But the appearance of erosion speaks of pemphigus, candidiasis or impetigo.

The appearance of a rash can be caused by various reasons. But quite often to such unpleasant formations can result elementary neglect of the rules of personal hygiene. In any case, if any signs are found, you should immediately consult a doctor.

After an accurate diagnosis, skin rash can be treated with either medication or traditional medicine. Everything depends on the type of disease and on the degree of its neglect.
