What Causes Reddish Darker Inner Thighs Inspite Of Using Peeling Body Set?

I used a peeling body set on my inner thighs and now it's reddish, a bit inflamed and even darker than before. I was supposed to apply bleaching lotion after peeling but it has been 8 weeks and the peeling has not completely healed my skin. What should I do?

Dermatologist,  's  Response

Hi,

I can understand your concern for reddish darker inner thighs.

In my view correlating with the facts you have provided it appears to be fungal infection of the area.

I suggest you to meet a dermatologist to for proper therapy. In between you should wash the area properly. If I were your dermatologist then presumptively would have preferred to apply an antifungal cream such as clotrimazole or miconazole. You can take an antihistamine such as loratadine for once a day if itching is present.

Do not try to pinch, pop or squeeze the area as it may cause secondary infection of the area.

Do not apply bleaching lotion as can cause irritation of skin and recurrence of problem.

All the best
