Suggest Medication For Rash On Skin On Inner Thigh
Friday night, I found a rash or something like a rug burn on my left leg, it's on the inside of my thigh. I wore a pair of old cheerleading pants from 4 years ago and i haven't worn them in a while. Now that I'm a bit older they don't fit perfect like they used to. I thought they caused it by rubbing against my leg. So I ended up putting triple antibiotic ointment on it to help moisturize it and keep it clean and I went to bed and did not cover it nor think anything else about it. But after it scabbed up, it peeled off today and it was just a pink circle just like any other scab. But what confused me what the fact that the area around the rash was getting very dry and flaking off and it's getting sore like that one spot. I have not worn those pants since that day and I'm not sure if it's spreading and I don't know what to put on it because it don't want to make it worse.
The rash in your inner thigh can be either due to dermatitis or fungal infection (Tinea) in that region.
Management includes: 1. Keeping the area dry & avoid too much exposure to water or sweat formation. 2. Antihistamine preparations like cetirizine to reduce the itching sensation & provide symptomatic relief. 3. Application of topical antifungal cream like Clotrimazole or Miconazole to tackle the causative organism. 4. Topical antibiotics to prevent secondary bacterial infections.
If symptoms still persist or aggravate further, then it will be better to consult a Dermatologist & get a proper examination done to find out the actual cause. So that appropriate management steps could be taken.
Also avoid wearing tight undergarments and trousers, as it will cause sweating & predispose to fungal infections. Wishing you a Good Health. Take care.
