What Causes Painful Rash On The Inside Of Thigh?
I have developed a rash on the inside of my left thigh which has become more and more painful and is starting to swell. I thought it was blocked sweat glands as the appearance matched the ones I found on the internet, lots of little white spots and possibly blisters. Could you tell me what this is? Seems to be getting worse!

Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..
I have gone through your query and can understand your concern.
Rashes on inner thighs is very common & can be due to
1 Rashes due to friction between body parts. This type is common in cyclist,joggers,etc.
2 Rashes due to contact with allergic and poisonous agent found in herbs like poison oak or ivy, or present in the insect’s sting or animal’s bite.
3 Psoriasis, impetigo and eczema are few of the diseases that are known to produce rashes or skin eruption. Inner thigh rashes are quite common in patients diagnosed with psoriasis.
4 Fungal infection
Maintain hygeine as this is very important in preventing rashes. Hydration of the skin should be maintained by moisturizing creams.
If problem persist, visit a dermatologist
Hope your query is solved
