Suggest Treatment For Rash And Itching On Thighs And Arms

Hi on the 26th of July I noticed itchy pimple like bumps around my vagina. I saw a doctor on the 30th. She prescribe me Miconazole Nitrate Vaginal Cream USP 2%. Use for 7 days, itchiness stopped but after the 7th day new break out occurred. Saw another doctor on Aug 9th. She prescribe me Clotrimazole 1% cream and Fluconazole Tablet USP 150mg. Seemed to help, but then new breakouts down my inter thighs started and also started breaking out under the arm pits with a red itchy rash. The rash started under the arms went down my arm to the top of my hands. Saw the same doctor which I saw the second time on the Aug. 13. She then prescribe me Diphenhybramine 25mg Capsule and the allergy shot. By the end of the day the itchiness had stopped and the rash wasn't so red under my pits and the rash started going away down my arm, So I thought it was working. Then by Thursday night new rashes started forming on my inter thighs and itchiness and reddness started back on under my armpits. (the doctor I had seen the last two times recommend me coming in to the doctor on call for walk ins) So I saw another doctor on Friday 17th (yesterday). She prescribe me Permethrin Cream 5% and Hydroxyzine HCL 25mg Tablet. I had applied the cream last night and washed it off this morning. The rash is worse then before and itches worse then ever in the inter thigh area and the armpit. and arms. What should I do? Should I wait it out. Never had anything like this before.

Hello,

It looks like your rashes are getting chronic. You have taken antihistamine tablets & shots, it reduces but then again gets flared up. Presently your rashes & itching are worse after the application of Permethrin, a drug of choice for scabies. Since you have bumps in the vagina & rashes spreading all over the body, it looks like Herpes infection.

Herpes infection can cause rashes all over the body. Bumps in the vagina are suggestive of genital warts or genital herpes. You should visit a GP at the earliest. Get clinically examined & assessed. You may need to get STD test done. Your treating doctor will treat you with antibiotics / antivirals. Take care of your hygiene.

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

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K, General & Family Physician
