Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of red blotch on the inner thigh which seems to be due to hair follicle infection leading to folliculitis and it could be due to furuncle or boil. The symptoms you mention in query can also occur due to allergic reaction , side effect of certain medicine or fungal infection . I would suggest you to apply topical antibacterial ointment and wear loose clothes. You should avoid sharing your clothes with someone and avoid taking anyone's clothes. You should take course of oral antibiotics. Maintain complete hygiene and keep area little dry. Visit dermatologist once if symptoms keeps on persisting. Start treatment after complete examination and proper prescription. Also take over the counter anti histamine like zyrtec .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
