What Causes Severe Itching On Thighs, Buttlocks And Waist With Discoloration?

I have severe itching in the underwear area. inner and outer thighs and butt cheeks and waist band area. But not in the genetal or anal area. Started about 2 weeks ago on the butt cheeks. thought it was from sweat due to the hot weather. Seems to be getting worse. there is also patchy skin discolouration on inner thighs.

Hello,

You might have developed a fungal infection. The area of the groin is moist and is prone to develop these infections.

Treatment can be with oral antifungals as well as with topical antifungals. You can use clotrimazole powder for immediate relief. It can help reduce the moisture as well as control the infection. Please don't use any steroid, it can worsen your condition.

Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
