Doctors' responses
Hello
The symptoms you describe are most likely due to skin irritation from friction (frictional dermatitis), not an infection—especially since there is no discharge or bad odor.
What you can do now: Avoid friction and pressure as much as possible
Keep the area clean and dry
Use a simple, fragrance-free moisturizer (a thin layer of petroleum jelly is fine)
Wear loose, cotton underwear
Avoid harsh soaps or antiseptics
Avoid:
Using steroid or antifungal creams without medical advice
Scratching or peeling the skin
See a doctor if:
Redness or itching lasts more than 7–10 days
You develop significant pain, deep cracks, or discharge
Symptoms worsen or keep coming back
This usually improves with rest and reduced friction.
I trust this helps Thank you
