Rash On Inner Thigh After Shaving

Usually when i shave i have no problems but since ive been pregrant after i shave i notice my underwear start to rub against my thigh and it hurts . I took a shower and i noticed a rash on my inner thigh that looked as if i rubbd off the skin .. It was pink but didnt burn or hurt in the water .. I did apply ointment to it . Im wondering if it will go away ? Is it common ? What else can i use? Thank you

Hi,

You may be having friction dermatitis with candidosis on inner thighs. It is a common condition occuring in fatty people. Take rest and avoid to walk excessively to avoid friction. Keep the area dry. Avoid soap bath. Have dettol bath. Take antihistaminics if there is itching. Take antifungal like ketoconazole for two weeks. You may take short course of oral steroid. Apply combined cream of steroid, antifungal and antibiotics. You may be improved. I hope you got my answer.

Thanks.
