Suggest Medications For Rashes On The Inner Thigh And Testicles

Hi,I have a rash on my inner thigh { crotch }, next to my testicles { on either side }. It looks like a heat rash , red in color. You would never see it except with a mirror. It can itch a little, so I am using cortizone cream during the day and before bed. I ts not getting any worse, but dosn t seem to be clearing up. It is not on my genital area.I am active athletically....walking, biking, weights almost every day, so I m thinking this may be some sort of jock itch. Is there anything over the counter that would clear this up, before going to a doctor. It dosen t seem serious, just aggravating at times .Thanks,Robbie

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi,

In my opinion, you are suffering from Tinea cruris (fungal infection of the groin). You can apply clotrimazole cream twice daily followed by application of clotrimazole dusting powder.

Take an antihistamine tablet along with it for 2 weeks. If you do not get any improvement in 2 weeks, I request you to consult your Dermatologist for further management.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Siva Subramanian, Dermatologist
