Treatment for rash in groin

A rash in the groin region could be due to a heat rash, bacterial or fungal infection, candidiasis, excessive scratching, allergy to some type of fitted clothing, dry skin, sexually transmitted disease or some underlying disease.

Keep the following points in mind to treat the rash –

• Add ½ cup sodium bicarbonate in a tub of warm water. Have a soothing bath with this water to relieve the itch.
  
  
  Avoid scratching as far as possible as it can worsen the rash.
• Wear comfortable clothes, especially wear comfortable clean cotton underwear and avoid tight fitted clothes.
• Keep the groin region dry and clean as far as possible.
