Is it possible to get rashes in thighs due to psoriasis?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Hope you are keeping safe and doing well. I understand your concern about the doubt of it being a psoriatic or a fungal lesion. I have seen the attached photo (attachment removed to protect patient identity) and read your brief history, it most likely looks like an Eczema patch, with or without a coexisting fungal growth as that region is prone for it. If it was a pure fungal lesion you could appreciate its well active and raised borders and less redness in the centre. If it was a psoriatic patch, you would find the lesion to be more scaly in nature when you itch and it would have a tendency to give bleeding points. You can use Lotrisone cream (Clotrimazole or Betamethasone) application once in the night for 7 days, Clotrimazolepowder for the scrotal area in the morning, Ketoconazole soap for bath daily, Cetaphil lotion to apply in the morning and afternoon. Take Tablet Atarax 10 mg once daily in the night for 7 days Provided you do not have any prior allergy to these medications. Review after 7 days with a photo. Please keep in mind that when you are prone to get a fungal infection or eczema, you may get it recurrently when there are triggering factors like stress, excessive sweating and wearing wet clothes and a humid weather. You can follow some simple measures. Wearing loose clothes until the flare up reduces. Keep the area always dry. Use only dry clothes. Iron your clothes before wearing to kill the fungal molds. Do not share your personal belongings. Maintain a good genital hygiene. Do not wash the scrotal area with very hot water.
