What Causes A Large Red Patch On The Inner Thigh And Bruising?

Hello, I just now noticed a large red patch on my inner thigh and it has a smaller, quarter-size bump and it appears to be starting to bruise. I do not remember bumping my leg. I am concerned about blood clots, but I do not know if they appear like this?

Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hello,

As per your case history, you are having a fungal infection called tinea cruris. My treatment advice is -
1. Maintain good hygiene and bath twice daily.
2. Apply an antifungal cream like clotrimazole cream twice daily on it.
3. Take an antihistamine medication like levocetirizine twice daily for seven to ten days.
4. Other treatment options are oral fluconazole, itraconazole, and terbinafine taken only after consulting a dermatologist.


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

Regard,
Dr. Harshit Bhachech
