Red Areas With Bumps Over Thighs, Around Genitals, Belly Button With Discoloration. Treatment Option Other Than Lotion?
I have red areas on inner thighs around genitals with slight bumps, and now up to belly button with color discoloration (Redish green, maybe because of itching or dry skin ) Is there anything I can do to help it go away besides lotion. This did not start until last summer when I started my new job, and has progressively gotten worse.

Hello,
Thanks for the query,
You might have developed fungal infection.
The hypopigmentation might be due to constnt itch.
The area of groin is very moist and is prone to develop these infections.
Treatment can be with oral antifungals as well as with topical antifungals.
Various antifungal powders like candid are availabe.
These can help reduce the moisture as well as control the infection.
Please dont use any steroid, it can worsen your condition
Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
