it's possible you have a fungal infection commonly called " jock itch. " this can occur when you don't completely dry the groin area after exercising and showering. the skin of the groin area is home to many beneficial bacteria. however when this area remains damp it can allow other bacteria to flourish. this can result in a fungal infection. assuming you don't have any lesions (sores pimples - that sort of thing) it's probably safe for you to try an over-the-counter spray powder or cream for jock itch. you'll find these products near the medications for athlete's foot. to prevent jock itch be sure to towel dry as much as possible then apply a powder (or cornstarch) to help keep the area dry. if you're unsure about whether you actually have jock itch or if the over-the-counter treatment doesn't help the problem by all means visit your health care provider to determine what is going on. hope this helps!
