Heat rash is quite possible - try looser underwear and see if that helps. Is it just in one patch or is it all round? One nasty possibility could be scabies.

aj_rock Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 GODDAMMIT BRUCE I got so confused by the name change...Anyways, is it the skin thats irritated or under that? Cuz under that is the urethra I think... and it could be an infection. Why must I put a name on the foods I choose to eat and how I choose to eat them? Rather than tell people that I eat according to someone else's arbitrary rules, I'd rather just tell them, I eat healthy. And no, my diet does not have a name.My daily battle log! Link to comment

Guest Snake McClain Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 hahha sorry for the name change. just introducing the world to my super hero wrestler alter ego.Okay so...its on my thighs. way upper part though. red and...not really itchy until like i start to wash. not a rash. not bums. just two big red areas (one on each leg). act as if man parts weren't there (so yeah a ken doll) and imagine just two big red slightly irritated areas. I think it could be the underwear thing. i wear boxer briefs so it could be that for sure. No laptop so that isn't the issue. i'm sort of just...stumped. it doesn't itch or bother me through the day, only when it's shower time and the hot water get's on there. LIke i have one of those shower heads with the hose so i can pick it up and move it around and spray my back and underarms and the like and when i get to spraying below it gets really irritated.

cacoman Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 I'm new here, but if I may jump in...If you feel like you're not quite ready to see a dermatologist about it, my guess is that it's either Tinea cruris (jock itch, which can present as red patches around the groin) or perhaps atopic dermatitis (a.k.a. eczema). Since you have it on both sides, it really sounds like jock itch. For jock itch...well, I'm pretty sure you know how to treat that. My personal favorite is Lamisil cream, but Lotrimin is good as well.If it doesn't respond well to that, it might be dermatitis (a general inflammation of the skin, often brought on by stress). This is an odd place for dermatitis, though. You can try 1% hydrocortisone cream or ointment (topical steroid) for a few days (reapply it at night). I've had patches like this before on other areas of my body, but then I'm 50 and I'm starting to get Old Man Skin. :-)Heck, there's nothing to stop you from using both. I would try applying the creams at different times to give each a chance to work its magic separately. BTW I am NOT a doctor, but I know a thing or two about skin problems. If you have any more questions, you might want to check out the Wikipedia entries for "Tinea cruris" and "Eczema."And let us know how it turns out. :-)Curt Link to comment
Barbarossa Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 It's possible that, if you take really hot showers and concentrate on that area, the skin is just drying out. Try Scottish showers and see if that helps, maybe? Link to comment

Guest Snake McClain Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 So here's something I think pertains to mostly (not exclusively I'm sure) to us dudes...Usually when I'm around a bunch of guys I respect in a certain...I guess we can call it field I get nervous. Like I don't deserve to be there because I'm not on their level. Its obviously a confidence issue (me ck.Rosenfeld issues? No way). It causes me to speak quieter. Not chime in as often. Or speak up really at all. I've been working at getting over this with some success. Have you fellas experienced this? What have you done to get over it? Link to comment

It always makes me feel as if they are going to turn to me and figure out I don't know jack. I have two approaches: 1) A slightly more cocky attitude to hide the nerves, 2) A few shots of whiskey/tequila to calm me down.

Guest Snake McClain Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 What is the certain... field, I guess we could call it?well really anything. But for example when I meet new wrestlers. I travel a bit for shows (i'm not even having matches just going and helping out and setting up and getting myself networked with the wrestlers i'm already pals with) and i meet people and I feel I don't belong. These people have done a ton. Or at work. Just in the insurance office I meet people and know I don't fit their standard of...whatever. or I feel like i don't belong here because i'm not as accomplished or something as them. Or christmas parties with work...or...all that. like i see these guys as "real men" without knowing them and i get all insecure. the only thing helping me is my trainign and lifting. it's helped me feel like i've earned things more than they have perhaps.

The second one is an extreme solution but produces funny results during hte work day.I think everyone feels this way sometimes. I work all the time with experienced engineers from, among other schools, MIT and Georgia Tech. Being a relatively new, inexperienced state school guy this can lead to a bit of a feeling of inferiority. Fortunately with my increased experience I feel a lot more confident and know that I am on par with these guys. They are my colleagues, after all.

Or speak up really at all. I've been working at getting over this with some success. Have you fellas experienced this? What have you done to get over it?I get like that all the time. I've always been a loner, watch from the shadows kid of guy, so most social situations, especially groups, make me less confident. I'm fine if it is only two or three other people, but any more than that and I'm the weird quiet guy. The only time I can get away from my lack of confidence is either when it is a group of mostly people I know, or if I'm just in one of those "I don't care about anything anymore" moods and I just do whatever feels right before I even have time to think about it.well really anything. But for example ... I feel like i don't belong here because i'm not as accomplished or something as them.That is a really big one for me. I hung around here for a while before I created an account, and even longer before I actually attempted to join a thread. I've noticed I'm kinda using this community as a self-help therapy of sorts with the group anxiety.
