Posted on Wed, 3 Feb 2016
Question: I'm having an issue with a rash in between the crease of my thigh and vagina. It has been there for quite some time. It itches like crazy and Kate's every now and then. Is there something I can use to ease the pain? And make it go away

Possibility of Intertrigo

Detailed Answer:
Hello Dear

Welcome.

I am Dr V XXXXXXX a Sr dermatologist. I have assessed the details and will work out durable solution.

Please consider following measures:

1 Keep the part dry and sponge the affected area at least thrice a day and follow up by air drying. Avoid soaps.

2 Eumosone M cream locally thrice daily. It is a premix of Clobetasone( hydro cortisone can be used in its place) and Miconazole. In place of this, one can mix two ingredients separately in equal proportions.

3 Levocetrizine 5 mg a day or a comparable anti allergic orally. Fluconazole 150 single tab, once.

The effects should be noticeable in a day or so.

I would also like to tell you something about how to prevent such problems in future

1 Keep body weight in normal range
2 wearing loose cotton dresses
3 Avoiding sitting cross legged
4 Ensure normal blood sugar
5 Avoid heavy exercise in one session
6 Dry the area after bath thoroughly

I am sure these measures will be followed by you to derive maximum advantage. Please do not hesitate if you have another query.

Thanks and best wishes

Please continue with previous suggestions

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for uploading the picture.

The changes on the skin had already been anticipated by me and I would not like to modify the suggestions for now. You are very likely to feel improvement within two days.
It would be good if you keep communicating so that I can help as and when needed.

Yes, finally do pay attention to the reasons as to why such rashes appear and ways of preventing them

I would be happy if you never get them again.

Best wishes

Are these over the counter medicines?

Brief Answer:
Alternatives of some are OTC

Detailed Answer:
Hello Dear

Welcome.

Hydrocortisone and Miconazole (or Clotrimazole/ Econazole) are OTC. Mixed freshly before use in equal amounts will be closest in effects to Eumosone M.

Levocetrizine 5 mg can be substituted with Zyrtec or any other antiallergic like Terfinadine or Cetrizine (Zyrtec)

I am sure this information will serve the purpose.

Best wishes
