What could be the cause of a groin rash that smells bad?

Answer by  lovingwife (21)

The reason for the rash is due to sweating. If you sweat and do not bathe everyday, then you are likely to end up with a rash there. It is very uncomfortable and hurts badly. The treatment that helps control the sweating is baby powder or you can use starch.

More then likely the rash is simply a variant of athletes foot. Your groin is getting sweaty and is not being washed properly. If you do exercise and are not showering after this is most likely the cause. It could also be a fungal infection or an STD, see your doctor if basic washing does not improve the rash.

It could be an STD, but more likely it is some type of mold growing on your genital area. You can get athletes foot on your privates, so you better get it checked out, protect yourself, air out your privates more often, and wash them better

It could be a yeast infection - try an ointment for jock itch or athlete's foot. See a doctor is that doesn't work.
