Could Being Overweight Lead To Severe Itching In Thighs And Pubic Area?
I have severe itching in the creases of my thigh and pubic area, also same for the labial area. I have used antifungal spray, and it BURNS! , does help a bit with the itching. Also use gold bond powder, i am a bit overweight and i do sweat in that area. Any ideas?

Hello dear,welcome to healthcare magic forum.
Itching and rash in creases is usually from fungal infection.overweight is more often associated with such infection. If you are not feeling good with sprays,ointments may offer help.
If that too fails,we have to think of other conditions like scabies.You can discuss this with your doctor.
Meanwhile,Keep the area always clean and dry.
