What Causes Itching On The Thighs?

Most probably intertrigo
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HCM....
After reading history you gave,I feel that most probably you may be having intertrigo. It may be candidal infection induced. There may be perspiration,soap and wetness after bathing as responsible factors. The secondary infection may be responsible for the swelling of scrotum and penis. Kindly consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment.
I would suggest...
- antihistaminics like levocetirizine 5 mg daily
- antifungal like itraconazole 100 mg twice a day
- a short course of antibiotic like cap cefalosporin 250 mg thrice a day for a week
- keep the area dry
- wash the area with dettol liquid diluted in water while bathing
I hope this would help.
Thanks.
Dr.Ilyas Patel MD
