Question: This is really embarassing, but I am a female and have been having issues with a rash in my groin area. At first, my doctor and I thought it was jock itch and treated it accordingly. It didn't totally go away and we realized it turned into a yeast infection, so we treated that accordingly. Now it's over a month later, and the rash just re-developed. It burns when I urinate - and sometimes when I don't urinate if my underware rubs my groin the wron way - and it is red within the folds of both my labia majora and minora. It isn't patchy like a lot of pictures online of rashes. It's just a solid red and only within the folds. It hasn't spread anywhere else (yet :/). What do you think this can be / what should I do? I go back to school on Monday and it's Saturday now, so getting to a doctor is going to be difficult.

Thank you for your quick answer. That makes sense because at one point a dermatologist I went to said something similar, but he only prescribed me the hydrocortisone, so maybe the mixture will be more effective. The hydrocoritsone DID work for a couple days, but then the rash came back - and after that was when I got it treated successfully as a yeast infection. But the bacterial problem is probably still there and I just didn't have the symptoms come back until now.

I did have one problem though: by me (I live in NJ), the mupirocine cream IS prescription for some reason. The pharmacist said I could substitute it for Neosporin. Does that sound like it should still work? Or is that just going to be a waste of my time? If it doesn't work, is there a better substitution?

Thank you again!
