Rash On Upper Thigh, Spreading Towards Hips, Red Bumps, Burning Sensation. Tried Hydrocortizone Cream. Cure?
I have a rash on the top part of my thigh that is extremly itchy and when I scratch even a little bit, it causes a burning sensation. I have not changed anything in habbits such as soaps, detergents, medications etc. hydrocortizone cream helps just a bit, but it seems to be spredding backwards towards my hips. The bumps are bright red and raised. Wondering what over the counter creams I could try.

hello dear,
Thanks for the query.
You might be suffering from a fungal infection, Tinea cruris.
It starts in groin region.
Hydrocortisone as steroid .
initially it might help a bit but in fact it will worsen the condition.
you might need treatment with anti fungals.
Please meet a dermatologist and discuss regarding this.
wishing you good health.
Thank you
