Suggest Treatment For Overweight

I am very overweight and have this patch on my inner thigh of each leg. the skin looks like alligator skin and then leads to a section that almost has the surface of corn on the cob and it is very pink. there is one section that seems to be splitting apart. it is painful. I sometimes put A&D on it and that temporarily helps it. what kind of doctor should I go to? dermatologist, obgyn, primary care doc, I just do not know. it is very embarrassing. What is it.

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

Lifestyle modifications can help a bit. Avoid oily and fat-rich foods. Routine physical exercises will be helpful. Other causes like hypothyroidism must be ruled out as well.

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

Take care
