I don t know if it s related or not but I also have factor V Leiden and MTHFR as well as a benign growth on my right adrenal glad. The itching has lasted about a week or so.

hi,
a thanks for writing to us.
from the description it seems, you could be having frictional intertrigo.
Keeping these areas friction free and dry by wearing cotton clothes and application of steroid cream should help. if the lesions are too itchy, you may take tablet cetirizine too. avoid wearing synthetic clothes or denim clothes.
Hope that answered your query.
Take care
