Hello
Yes I have been in a hot humid environment for the last 3 weeks ... Have used some lamsil as I thought perhaps it was fungal
I am starting to wonder if the hotel used something that has reacted with me to wash my underwhelm and has caused inflammation
What would you recommend
And yes it is tending to burn

Brief Answer:
Looks like inflammation, cortisone cream and antihistaminic tablet
Detailed Answer:
It seems to be inflammation due to hot humid weather.
In such cases I usually recommend my patients to apply mild steroid like cortisone cream on the affected areas twice daily for 5-7 days along with antihistaminic like tablet Chlorpheniramine maleate 4 mg once daily at bedtime for 5-7 days.
This will resolve the rash.
Besides this stay in cool airy environment, wear loose cotton clothes including the underwear and don't use soap on the affected area till the time it resolves.
