What Does A Rash Around The Waist And And Inner Thighs Indicate?
Question: I have a rash around my waist and butt, it is also on inner thighs. More like welts. Could it be the detergent
Brief Answer:
any chemical agent in contact with skin
Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is possibly the detergent though it can be related to any chemical agent that comes into contact with your skin.
This would include soaps, lotions and also the clothing material (if any recent changes).
You should change one item at a time so that you can more easily identify the causative agent.
Use hypoallergenic agents.
You may want to use topical steroid creams to apply to the rash. If you have already tried over the counter creams then you may need a prescription cream from your doctor.
These are stronger than the OTC meds.
The steroid creams reduce the skin inflammation.
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
