Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have gone through the information provided.

It most likely appears to be sunburn as seen in the photograph (attachment removed to protect patient identity). You could apply DesOwen (Desonide) mild potent steroid cream twice a day for five days. Along with this, also use SPF 50+ (sun protection factor) sunscreen regularly. It is likely to respond the above treatment. In case it persists, it may require an escalation to more potent cream or differential diagnosis has to be considered and treated accordingly.

The Probable causes

1. Sun exposure. 2. Friction. 3. Sweat.

Differential diagnosis

1. Sunburn.

2. Eczema.

3. Fungal infection.

Probable diagnosis

Sunburn.

Preventive measures

Sun protection.
