Suggest Treatment For Fungal Infection On Inner Thighs

Posted on Tue, 27 Jan 2015

Question: Hello,

I am Mrs XXXXXXX XXXXXXX Age 26.

Since last two weeks I am feeling itching on my inner thighs. Initially there was small circular red patch on right thigh. Then same was observed on left thigh after 2-3 days. I used cream called Itch-guard for over a week. Then itching reduced, also red circular patches dried however itching is still there around those patches extending to vagina.

Could you please help?

Thanks.
