Over exertion. For example, I get flares in my groin whenever I work because I walk a lot and sweat a lot. I manage the flares with a mix of aloe, witch hazel, tea tree, and hydrogen peroxide. It cools, cleanses, sooths the burning feeling, and prevents infection. It's my go to mix since I have to work.
