Question : I have a awful oozing rash at the crease of my thigh on both sides. Hurts bad and is leaking a very very foul smelling greenish pus. My vaginal area does not smell like this, just in the creases of my thighs and groin area. Should I be concerned? I also feel generally ill. What should I do?

Brief Answer: Yes, you should be concerned.Please, get consulted Detailed Answer: Hi and thank you so much for this query. I am so sorry to hear about this rash that you have reported. From the description of your symptoms, this seems to represent an infection with the potential of becoming dangerous unless well addressed at this tie. The extensive nature of this rash and the weeping means the skin has been broken and can allow for easy access of germs into the body. It would be great for you to get consulted and well treated for this before further complications like these can set in. For now, cleanse as much as possible with an antiseptic solution like chlorhexidine, keep it airy, avoid humidity and heat so as to limit rapid progression. Do you have any itches? I hope this helps and provides some more information for you to act on. Feel free to ask for clarification and more information if need be. I wish you well and thank you so much for using our services. Dr. Ditah, MD.
