Suggest Treatment For A Itchy Rash On The Inner Thigh Area

Ive been to the best dermatologist in my area. I have a rash that was checked on my inner thigh by my trunk. Although better, my itching does it no good. I have used cortizone cream, every other kind of cream, calcium sulfate baths, etc. It is much better than it was but still not healed. I have had small bouts with psoriasis in the past it is in my family. Male 65, fairly athletic, run almost every day. 6 2 . 205lb. Healthy diet. low in carbs, high in protein and vegetables.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of itchy rash on the inner thigh area which is due to allergic reaction and it could be due to hair follicle infection leading to folliculitis. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to take oral tablets of Terbinafine for 1 week. You should maintain proper hygiene of area. You should wear loose clothes. You should visit dermatologist once and get it examined and start treatment after proper prescription. You should start proper course of medications after complete examination. Do Not touch or prick it with any sharp object. Take tablet of cetirizine 10 mg once daily for symptomatic relief from itching. Apply moderately potent topical steroid of triamcinolone acetonide 0.1% cream twice daily at affected sites.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
