How do I treat red, round, itchy patches on my inner thigh?
Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I have been experiencing red, round, patchy rashes on my inner thighs that itch and hurt. I am irritated. I have been applying a lot of anti-fungal creams, but I am not getting any results.
Please help.
Thanks.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern.
You may be suffering from a fungal infection, commonly affecting the inner thighs, groin, and buttocks. It can be treated with a course of antifungal medication, including tablets and creams. Do not use soap over that area. Mistreatment with counter-steroid-containing creams like Fourderm (Chlorhexidine gluconate), Panderm (Clobetasol), Quadriderm (clotrimazole), Candid (Clotrimazole), etc., leads to repeated recurrences and side effects from application.
Do not use steroid-containing combination creams. Please call or use the online consult option with photos to request a detailed prescription. Do not delay treatment, as it may spread further on your body and other people living in the household. Consult your specialist doctor, talk to them, and take medications with their consent.
I hope this information will help.
Thanks.
Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
