How To Treat Itching Rash On Inner Thigh?

Okay so i have this rash on my inner thigh on the right side. It started as a small red patch that wad itching. Im not sure if i irritated the area by using baby powder down there but it spread and the skin is peeling. When i wash the skin sometimes peels off. No odor or discharge just itchy rash. It hurts if i scrub it or scratch.its getting better. Any suggestions?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

The use of a topical steroid cream would help to relieve the itching and inflammation.
Hydrocortisone may be available over the counter

It is likely a reaction to some agent that has come into contact with the skin or inflammatory response to an insect bite.
Eg of the agents are: cream, lotion, soap, cloth material.

I hope this helps
