Developing Rashes In Inner Thighs, Boil Appears Mainly In Arm Pit Or Back Of Ear. Suggestion

Hariharan, 41, male. -For a long time I have been developing rashes in my inner thighs. At certain times, a boil appears. The boil appears mainly in my inner thigh area/arm pits or back of the ears. I am unable to wear inner wear because of this problem. The problem appears round the year, but most severely during summer.

Hi, Thanks for using HCM.

The problems you are suffering may be due to fungal infection, that appears mostly in moist region and symptoms will be more in summer.
Keep the area dry, use loose and cotton clothes, clean the area regularly every day, can use talcum powder and apply antifungal agent like clotrimazole ointmment. If not controlled then can apply combination of antifungal with steroids.

Hope I answered your question. Feel free to ask me if you have any further queries. Wish you good health. Take care.
