Suggest Treatment For Dry,red,itchy And Scaly Rash On Hip And Thigh

Hello. I have developed a fairly round rash on my right hip/thigh over a period of about a week. The lesion is roughly 2.5 -3 round, mildly itchy, dry and slightly scaley. While it is dry and slightly scaley it is not flaking. I don t have any other dermatological problems anywhere else on my body, and no allergies to speak of. The only medications I am currently taking are Benazepril, Pantoprazole, Gabapentin, and Hydrocodone and have been taking them consistently for over a year. Also no other environmental changes or illnesses to speak of. Also there has been no insect bite that I am aware of. I haven t tried any form of treatments as it is not painful, nor itchy enough to be concerned. As of right now it is just red, dry, slightly itchy and scaley.

Hi,

The rash could be seborrheic dermatitis or a tinea infection (fungal infection). The treatment varies for both the conditions and there are other possible diagnoses too, such as intertrigo. So, it is advisable to consult your doctor for arriving at a final diagnosis and to initiate the proper treatment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
