Q: My husband is 32 years old and has this raw type of skin in his groin, which burns, itches and even smells. He doesn't want to go to the doctor since he feels shy. We are married for the past one and a half year and have hardly had sex. I feel like having but he doesn't. In a month we have sex only once. Is this normal or does it need medical help?

A:He probably has crural intertrigo. This may be bacterial, fungal or non-specific. With treatment he should get alright. Specific therapy instead of polytherapy is advisable. Lack of libido may be due to stress, a medical problem or even psychosexual. I feel your husband should be evaluated by a competent doctor in your area.
