Answers:
in diagnosing skin problems,its better if u attach a pic!
most skin lesions are easy to be understood seen rather from the verbal description!
from ur history ,it can be either a ringwom infestation from the unhygenic use of dress,which are no t cleaned daily,or skin hyper sensitivity to sun!

Erythrasma- looks like a chronic fungal infection!. Scaling, cracks, and slight maceration (softening) typically occur in the toe webs, almost always the 3rd and 4th interspaces!. Where the thighs contact the scrotum, sharp-edged patches first appear irregular and pink and later become brown with a fine scale!.

Jock Itch- (Tinea Cruris) is a fungal infection that is most commonly caused by the fungus Trichophyton rubrum!. This fungus is part of the Ringworm family of Tineas!.

You should definitely see a dermatologist!. If you do have Jock Itch, then it could be a Mild to Severe case of it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
