Should I be concerned that I have a rash on the outer portion of both thighs? Before I saw, a nurse this morning the rash itched badly. The nurse applied anti itch cream on both thighs. As a result, the rash now burns and has provided very little itch relief.
It seems you are suffering from Tinea, a kind of fungal infection. . In my patients of Tinea, I usually recommend proper course of oral anti-fungal drugs like Fluconazole for few weeks. Apply anti-fungal cream containing luliconazole or sertaconazole over affected areas twice a day. You can additionally use antifungal dusting powder containing clotrimazole during day time and a soap containing ketoconazole for rinsing of affected areas. Take oral antihistaminics for itching as required.
Maintain hygiene over those areas and avoid wearing tight undergarments.
Hope your queries are resolved and wish you best of health.
Thank you Dr Hardik Pitroda
