Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
What problem you are encountering is skin infection between your thighs, which has increased due to constant friction in the region.
Kindly do the following to overcome it.
1. Cleanse the area with mild antiseptic solution like Povidine-iodine twice daily.
2. Apply Neomycin cream over the lesions after drying.
3. You can apply moisturizer cream or lotion at bedtime.
4. Wear loose fitting undergarments to provide ventilation to the area and avoid friction.
Maintain good personal hygiene.
Gradually, the lesions should heal and you should be better.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
