Suggest Treatment For Soreness In The Inner Thigh Area
Question: I have had a sore inner thigh/near my buttocks. Quite concerned why I have a rash on each side of my thigh close to these areas. Is it chaffing or possibly something more serious?
Brief Answer:
that is fungal infection , it will fade away gradually with hot showers and anti fungal ointments .
Detailed Answer:
Hi i am Dr Ahmed Aly
thanks for using HealthcareMagic site ,
I had gone through your question and understand your concerns ..
In my opinion that could be a type of fungal dermatitis . do not want you to be worried as it is common , it usually appears after long walks in sweaty days when wearing tight jeans or under wears .
For now i recommend you have hot showers more frequently and apply topical anti fungal ointments 3 times a day will be fine . ( try using ointments with steroid contents will be more than enough in your case).
If that skin irritation persists or increases after using ointments then i suggest you have a visit to your dermatologist for proper evaluation and management .

Any further clarifications feel free to ask.
