Suggest Remedy For Rashes On The Wrist And Groin Area
I recently developed a small rash/hives on my right wrist from where I rest it on my laptop. In the last couple of days I have the same thing on my groin... I spend a good number of hours a day with my laptop on my lap.It is not severe but I would rather it not be there. I tried rubbing coconut oil on the areas and I believe it is helping. Any other suggestions?

Hi,
The rash could be Erythema ab igne which is a heat injury. In your case, it could be due to prolonged keeping of laptop on thighs and wrists. But there are other possibles diagnoses which could be ruled out only after proper clinical examination. So, I request you to consult your Dermatologist for confirming the diagnosis and for initiating apt treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
