Suggest Treatment For Itchy Rash On Hips

I have a very itchy rash that started out on one hip and is now on both. It is not an area where my clothes or underwear rub. It is swollen like hives now and is very uncomfortable. I have not changed any laundry detergents or soaps. I have tried cetaphil, but it isn t helping. I had a reaction like this with pregnancy, but I am not pregnant. Any ideas?

Hi.
As per your case-history your probable diagnosis is fungal infection.
My treatment advice is-
1. Maintain proper hygiene- bath twice daily, wash clothes in hot water, keep clothes and your belongings isolated from other family members.
2. Dont use cetaphil , it wont work.
3. Use clotimazole cream twice daily and take cetrizine tablet for itching.
4. if it doesn't clear in 15 days then consult a dermatologist for further guidance.

Thanks.
