General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi & Welcome.
I appreciate your concern for the itchy rash near inner thighs.

The typical rash is suggestive of a fungal infection of the skin.

Fungi grow in warm, moist areas of the inner thighs and due to excessive friction while walking or running a fungal infection can develop easily.
I would advise you to take Miconazole or Terbinafine containing creams.

Following measures are useful in the preventing the recurrence:

Keep the affected area dry and clean
Do not use any disinfectant on the skin or in the bath water this can irritate the skin.
Wear loose cotton underwear. Avoid tights and elastic ‘shapewear’ underwear, because they encourage sweating and moistness in the inner thighs
Avoid anything that keeps the thighs close together.

Hope to have answered your query.

Take care of your health.
