What Do Itchy Rashes On The Thighs And Stomach Indicate?

I have had a rash on both inside thighs for several months. I thought it was from the razor I was using to shave my bikini zone, so I have tried several different ones. A nurse practitioner prescribed Econazole Nitrate Cream 1%. She said it was a type of fungus. The cream helped for a short time, but now the rash is spreading up and onto my stomach. It is extremely itchy. Could it be something else?

Hi,
Thanks for the query.
Itchy rash on stomach&inner thighes can be due to allergy (to dress material or sweat) or fungal infection secondary to Sweating.
Try to use only cotton/hojiary clothes.Keep the sweat away by frequent bathing ,wearing looae cotton clothes.
Steroid ointment helps only allergic rash... &in case fungal infection not responding to anti fungal ointment...yiu need oral antifungal along with locall ointment.
Pl.aadvise a dermatologist.
Thanks.
