That doesn't sound like pregnancy. Implantation a woman can have spotting but not watery red liquid. It's very light spotting and it's not accompanied by itching. It sounds to me like an infection.

I don't the answer to this is Jock itch cuz...

Jock itch, or groin ringworm (tinea cruris), involves the skin of the groin and sometimes the upper thighs and buttocks. It is most often seen in adult men, but may also occur in women. Jock itch is not contagious. In many cases, the source of the infection is the patient�s own feet. Jock itch and athlete�s foot frequently occur together or in close succession.

Tinea cruris usually appears as scaly, ring-shaped patches with slightly raised borders that develop in the groin area and spread outward to one or both thighs, causing some redness and itching. The skin of the scrotum and penis are usually spared, a feature that helps distinguish this condition from some other skin diseases with similar symptoms.

Yea, so Jock itch has nothing to do with the scrotum, it's definitely something else.

Maybe because the scrotum is probably being irritated by something like very tight boxers or something.

Scabies is an allergic reaction of the skin, a condition marked by an itchy rash (small raised red spots). This reaction is caused by the itch mite (Sarcoptes scabiei), a microscopic skin parasite.

While it is an allergic reaction, the causal mite infestation is contagious with intimate contact, and rarely, from bedding or clothing.

If the ingestion of troublesome vectors (like disease carrying mites), bacteria, or viruses is suspected, immediately seek the advice of a physician.
