hi, I have a patch of skin on one side of my inner thigh close to my vagina that is itchy and when I scratch it there is a sort of white powder that comes off it, there is also like a small red line of bumps that link around the edge of the itchy part. Anything would help thanks.
The rashes on your inner thighs are most likely a fungal infection of the groins(Tinea cruris). Tinea classically presents with annular patches with central clearing and peripheral raised, red, scaly margin which extends outwards.
An OTC oral antihistamine e.g cetrizine 10 mg once daily would provide you symptomatic relief from itching.
In addition to the topical antifungal, I usually also ask my patients to take an oral antifungal e.g fluconazole or itraconazole. However, as these are prescription products you need to visit a dermatologist for a prescription.
Regards

What Causes Dry Patch Of Skin On My Inner Thigh?
Hello. Thanks for your query on healthcaremagic The rashes on your inner thighs are most likely a fungal infection of the groins(Tinea cruris). Tinea classically presents with annular patches with central clearing and peripheral raised, red, scaly margin which extends outwards. I would suggest an OTC topical antifungal e.g clotrimazole 1% cream, twice daily for 2-4 weeks. An OTC oral antihistamine e.g cetrizine 10 mg once daily would provide you symptomatic relief from itching. In addition to the topical antifungal, I usually also ask my patients to take an oral antifungal e.g fluconazole or itraconazole. However, as these are prescription products you need to visit a dermatologist for a prescription. Regards
