MadaxeMax beat me to it, but I was going to advise a second rinse cycle whenever washing your clothes. Today's detergents are almost ALL "concentrated" and it's easy to use more than you need (or can be rinsed out.)

I've been having a problem with itchy, rashy skin all over recently. I think it could be the soap that the truckstops are providing (in the showers.) But, it could also be my detergent. Some years ago, I started using the cheap store brand from my local food store. Even THAT has changed, I think. Anyway... I no longer need to save THAT much money, and I'm gonna go back to a better quality laundry detergent. Maybe, even back to Arm & Hammer as I believe it is the purest one on the market. And I may do the second rinse cycle, too!

Question:

How big are you?


My guess heat rash/chaffing. Air dry after showers, and divide and seperate your legs more often.

if you want to see if you're allergic to something, take some benedryl. If it goes away even for a couple hours but comes back its allergies. If not, then its not.
If you're worried about it being an STD go to a planned parent hood or other free clinic, they'll check you, but be prepared for a penile swab. (some might call them painful)

Not at all a big guy myself but I'm going thru something very similar to this except it's more my legs around that area in the front than my little buddy. For me, it was heat rash since it first showed up in the summer time about 7 or so years ago. It went away after free-balling for a while and air drying after showers, once fall/winter hit it went away completely...........about 3-4 years ago it came back though. I've tried different creams, baby powder, etc. The baby powder had a small effect on it but the cream did better IMO. It's made by Equate, Antifungal Cream-Clortrimazole Cream USP 1%. As long as I remember to put that on it does a pretty good job of dealing with it.

I'm only about 5' 11" Maybe 175-180 pounds. Is THAT what you meant?

I didn't mention it earlier, cuz I didn't think it applied, but I had something similar to Mr. Ford's condition for a very short while back in 1990 or so. A BIG red rash on the inside of my thighs just below the "joint." Nothing on my "BUDDY." Don't remember what I did or took, but it went away and has never returned.

BTW, Mr. Ford.... Equate doesn't "make" anything. That is the generic name for Walmart products. Who knows who makes it, but it sure ain't Walmart.

I thought I had a yeast infection derived from contact with my woman. SHE thought I'd been fooling around. Neither was true. I've SEEN pictures of a yeast infection and it seems I've had one of THOSE, too. But, not THAT time.

I don't know what caused my rash on my inner thighs. Maybe, too many Cheetos that month. But, it has never returned. My one and only yeast infection was beaten by an antibiotic (I beleive) and has never returned.

The O.P's situation doesn't sound like a bacterial infection. I don't believe antibiotics will help. I'm still leaning towards an allergic reaction to detergent or food.

And, according to Windy.... I have a Doctorate's degree! :lol:

See above.

For "umpteen" YEARS?

Can you give instructions for that? Maybe some personal pictures? (blush)

HOW many times have I wanted to say that? (to a woman, of course!) :lol:

ok



As I said, if its hive or an allegeric reaction that can be established by using benadryl. Otherwise the heat rash/chaffing can be part of it. I would say that if its fungal ie jock itch or yeast. He would need a strong anti fungal and they aren't all greated the same. Those foot powers may not work, it could take a strong prescription and eliminating the situation that fungi thrive in, by reducing heat, and moisture.



Instructions, sure, pictures? That's what paperview is for.

I'm sure if your showering in a truckstop you don't have this but a heater that blows air will work, or the hand dryer, perhaps.
I would just make sure your junk is nice and dry before putting your panties back on.



I know, it was fun having the opportunity to say it myself.:)

In my case, it would have been the beer... Or the hops in the beer...:(

scritch-scritch ... scratch-scratch-scratch

dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig ...... (snif-snif) (snif's finger's)

Confuscious say: "Man who go to bed with sex problem on mind, wake up with solution on hand."

That would be a video worth watching. And about the funniest thing I have ever read.

That would go viral on youtube!
