Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of itchy rash on the upper thigh. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like dermatitis, dry skin, eczema, heat rash or sweat dermatitis or uncomfortable clothes. You should maintain good personal hygiene. Use a powder to avoid sweat collection and apply calamine lotion at the sites of the lesion. Apply ice pack to reduce redness and itchiness. It is important to wear lose comfortable clothes. If condition doesn't get well then consult dermatologist for proper examination. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics like clindamycin , oral anti fungal or anti bacterial depending upon the diagnosis .
