My scrotum and inner thigh skin are red, itchy, and scaly. It sometimes has a persistent odour and leaves white stains. What could be causing this?

I'm sorry to hear about the discomfort you're experiencing. The symptoms you describe—redness, itching, scaly skin on the scrotum and inner thigh, along with persistent odor and white stains—are commonly associated with a fungal skin infection called tinea cruris (commonly known as jock itch). This condition is caused by fungi that thrive in warm, moist areas of the body.
Please consult a dermatologist for an accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment plan. They can confirm the cause and recommend the safest and most effective therapy for your condition.To narrow down potential causes, we will need some more information.I understand your scrotum and inner thigh skin are red, itchy, and scaly, sometimes has a persistent odour and leaves white stains.
