Hi,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have painful rashes on the inner thigh is due to hair follicle infection leading to folliculitis and it could be due to furuncle or boil. Need not to worry. Avoid touching or pricking it with sharp object. Apply topical antibacterial ointment and wear loose clothes. Maintain complete hygiene and keep area little dry. You should avoid sharing your clothes with someone and avoid taking anyone's clothes. You should take course of oral antibiotics. Visit dermatologist once if symptoms keeps on persisting. Start treatment after complete examination and proper prescription. Also take over the counter antihistamine like zyrtec .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
