I Have Been Experiencing This For Over A Month. It
Question: I have been experiencing this for over a month.
It started off like tiny red mosquito bites, which were extremely itchy, these dried and later the area where there were bites turned brown and the bite bumps flattened into looking like some allergy and when this effected area comes in contact with water becomes even more itchy and painful. I have been trying to keep it as dry as possible. it is on my inner thighs. I am extremely hygienic. help me out with some medication please?

Brief Answer:
As explained below.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.
I have gone through the details and images. It looks like a jock itch. A fungal infection. I suggest you use an antifungal ointment and antibacterial topical cream.
You can apply terbinafine/ketoconazole cream and Neosporin cream twice daily. Using keto soap during shower helps.
I hope this answered your query.
