Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi. I have some chafing and some gauded areas at my upper thighs where I have lost a lot of weight. What can I use on these areas. They are sometimes hot to the touch, red, inflamed, and sometimes itchy. I am a female. Thank you for your quick response, Bonita
As a first line management, you can apply low potency steroid creams like betamethasone for symptomatic relief. If the lesion persists, it is better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
