Skin problem?

Question: For the past 2 weeks I am having an itchy feeling in the area where my inner thighs meet the groin (on both the thighs).Sometimes I also get a burning sensation but itching is dominant. For the first few days the area was light reddish (almost pinkish red) with a dry scaly rash.I was adviced tetracycline.Then the rash gradually became less but the itching was there.Sometimes it was even itching on the back side where the hamstring meets the thigh.For the past 2 days I notice that those 2 areas have become swollen.The itching is still there though less as compared to the first few days.The colour of the infected area has also changed to darkish pink.I have not scratched the area even once as scratching may aggravate the problem.I also wear loose clothing round that area and I am sure its not due to any STD.I am also not obese.Can anyone help me regarding the problem?

Answers:
SEE YOUR DOCTOR! It could actually be anything from a rash to an infection. Most likely, you are just allergic to something. Have you been using a new detergent or fabric softner? Sometimes, sweat mixed with something that can irritate your skin can cause a rash. Either way, get checked out at least because you must have a high degree of discomfort. Good luck!
