default
Posted on Mon, 9 Dec 2013
Question: itchy rash on buttocks, side of arms, side of legs under the underwear region that resolved but remains as a small 3 inch circle rash at sacral base after my first case of moderate/severe jock itch in 40 years. I never get jock itch or rashes. Rash remains as small bumps like dots from a pencil tip only over sacral base, not vesicular. Also some remaining itch over buttocks but no rash there. Jock itch responded well to tinactin/lotrimin but there is still red discoloration on inside thigh where the jock itch was located.

what about the rash over my sacral base? It is itchy and a small patch of 30 little bumps in a 1"round circle. It is not too red but is about the same level as my underwear band.

Brief Answer: Details below Detailed Answer: Hello, The round patch must be residual fungal infection. You need to apply anti fungal cream in that area. Please apply the cream on the patch as well as around 1 cm surrounding also. This will prevent further extension of the patch. Let me know if you have any other doubts. Thank you
