Could Rashes On Inner Thighs Be A Sign Of Herpes?
I have these rash type thing on both sides of my inner thighs. They first appeared about 3 months ago, went away and now their back. They look a lot like Herpes but this seriously confuses me if they are. I've never had any sexual relations with any body and I don't think my mom has them, even if she did have herpes I was delivered by c section and I haven't had anything like this until 3 months ago. If I have herpes how the hell did they just randomly appear???

Hi Dear,
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have rashes on inner thighs which seems to be folliculitis and due to frictional heat generation.
Need not to worry. I would suggest you to apply warm compresses on affected area and keep this area clean and dry. You should take over the counter antihistamines like benadryl. Avoid wearing synthetic and tight clothes. Wear loose cotton cloths . If condition doesn't get well then consult dermatologist for proper examination. Doctor may examine physically along with taking sample for lab test and skin patch test and start treatment accordingly.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
