What Is The Permanent Cure For Rashes Between Thigh?

It s over ten years since I ve been treating rashes between my thighs with Nizoral, but it will only subsidize and come back in a very short time. Out of frustration I ve stopped any form of treatment. I ve also previously used Zovirax for HSV. YYYY@YYYY

Hi,

I can understand your concern for fungal infection on thighs leading severe rashes. You have not told us your relevant details like your age, sex and occupation.

After reading your query it appears to be due to Fungal infection of the thigh area which is quite common due to heat and humidity. Fungal infection of the skin is quite common due to infection and hygiene as well as most commonly due to diabetes. Go for your blood sugar check up to rule out diabetes and raised blood sugar if you are more than 40 years of age.

To prevent the further spread maintain good hygiene wash it two times properly. Stay away from hot and humid climate.

You can use clotrimazole cream or terbinafine cream over the affected areas under medical supervision. I suggest you to take antifungal tablet by mouth such as fluconazole 150 mg alternate days for 15 days.

Take care.
