A PROBLEM SHARED
Got a problem? Dr Ranj Singh is here to offer his advice
I’m a really clean person, but over the past few weeks I’ve had an itchy rash in my groin. I shower twice a day and make sure I wash myself properly. What could it be?

It sounds like you’re describing something called jock itch.
Despite what the name suggests, it has nothing to do with your gay tribe!
To use the medical term, tinea cruris is a fungal infection of the skin that takes hold in warm, moist areas such as the groin, inner thighs and around your anus – essentially, anywhere there is a skin fold.
