Hello,

Rashes on the top right side of the thigh is commonly due to fungal infection. Fungus grows quickly at warm, moist places. Take care of your hygiene, bath regularly and wear soft cotton clothes. Change clothes regularly. Do not wear clothes on which you have sweated.

Such symptom can also be due to contact dermatitis. Do not share toiletries. Avoid sex for a couple of days. You can apply Clotrimazole cream on the area affected. Ointment hydrocortisone can also be applied. It is very effective. You can take a course of fluconazole for faster relief.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
