What Causes Rash With Bumps On Inner Thighs?
Hi Dr. had surgery to remove a suspected item in my bladder and that all went well. Within days I developed a very bad rash with bumps on my inner thighs. My dr told me to remain on the antibiotic I was taking for the bladder and he gave me a mycogen cream to use.. It took a few weeks but the cream cleared up most of the rash. The problem is dark red bumps about the size of a dime. Two on one thigh and one on the other. Being a diabetic I cleaned the area with a strong disinfectant and took a small hypo to the bump.. all that comes out is blood?

hello i can understand your concern,
as you are diabetic, the rashes you developed may be due to fungal infection, tinea cruris and tinea corporis.
in such case cleaning with disinfectant can cause much irritation.
i would advice you to keep the area clean by normal water and more importantly keep it dry.
application of antifungal 1% clotrimazole cream and powder twice or thrice a day can be helpful, for more sevre condition you can have antifungal orally also.
and for itching tab levocetrizine 5 mg ( antihistaminics ) before sleeping can be helpful
hope it would help.thank you
