What Condition Does Rashes On The Inner Thighs Indicate? If It Is Eczema Suggest Treatment

I am a female and am 12 years old and i have eczema(dermatitis). I have had these small red bumps and a rash on my left inner thigh. It really hurts when I walk. I have looked up a lot of info and some say it can be due to eczema. I usually always have rashes. I have had this rash with small red bumps for one week going on two weeks. I am super scared and nobody knows. I have put a warm washcloth with warm water on it for about a half hour and it just goes down a bit then starts again. I am not in any sexual incourse and I am super scared. Please help me. I dont know if it can get worse. Please.

Hi,

Before arriving at an diagnosis of Eczema, it is important to rule out tinea cruris (fungal infection of Groin). Because, the medication prescribed for eczema may worsen Tinea infection. Try to keep the area dry by applying a dusting powder.

I recommend you to consult your dermatologist for confirming the diagnosis and for initiating the treatment.

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