What Do Small Circular Red Patches Of Dry Skin On Thigh Indicate?
Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic I would keep a possibility of fungal infection in the groins/Tinea cruris. It is common in hot, humid weather conditions in summers. Clinically it presents as itchy, red, scaly patches with central clearing and peripheral extension. Diagnosis is clinical. However, a KOH scraping can be performed from the scale to confirm the diagnosis. I would suggest an OTC topical antifungal e.g clotrimazole cream, twice daily for 4-6 weeks An OTC antihistamine e.g cetrizine 10mg once daily would provide you symptomatic relief from itching.
