Question : Hi my name is Blake and I have a rash on my very inner thigh. It’s been about 2 weeks now and I’ve tried a couple different creams and haven’t had much luck. It’s not huge maybe a couple inches but it’s very itchy and irritating throughout the day. I just purchased hydro cortizone cream and am going to start trying that. Do you have any other suggestions?

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I have gone through your query and here is my advice. If possible kindly upload images so that I will get a better idea.

As per your history, it may be fungal infection which should get evaluated.

Please let me know do you have fever/allergy to any food or medication?

For further assessment, I would suggest you to consult with Dermatologist for detailed clinical examination.

Mean while, I would suggest you to apply clotrimazole ointment locally and tablet loratidine 10 mg for itching. These medications are available OTC.

Along with that, avoid sweating/hot and humid environment. Use loose cotton clothes. Maintain proper hygiene.

Hope I have answered your query.
