What Causes Bruises And Dryness On Inner Thigh?
I have bruises on my inner thighs next to my crotch, the skin is very dry and i try apply lotion but it doesn t help much other than keeping me from scratching it. And was wondering if its from wearing too tight of pants or underwear or from skateboarding and moving my legs a lot. Or if its a Fungal infection, is there stuff i can buy a store to fix this? I m pretty sure it s not an STD cause the last time i had sex was about 8 months ago. But i am getting pretty worried about this and don t know to do. Please help.

Hello,
You have developed bruises on your inner thighs near the crotch. It is itchy. Your symptoms are indicative of fungal infections that can be triggered by warmth and sweaty area of your thighs and crotch. Avoid wearing too tight pants as walking long distances may cause abrasions. Wear loose fitting cotton clothes that are soft.
Take care of your hygiene. Take bath regularly and keep your private area dry and clean, apply ointment clotrimazole on the area affected. You can also take a course of anti fungal like fluconazole. If the itching is unbearable apply a thin layer of ointment Hydrocortisone.
Never wear clothes on which you have sweated, change your clothes regularly. Use soaps , beauty care lotions and products that are herbal. Avoid direct exposure to sunlight, avoid use of body care products that have harmful chemical ingredients. If sexually active, stay away from sex for a couple of days till you are being treated.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
