Hi,
As per your query you have symptoms of dry skin on the inner thigh which seems contact dermatitis and heat rash. I would suggest you to:
- Wash thigh area with cold water
- Wear loose cotton clothes and avoid wearing tight clothes
- Apply cold compresses 2-3 times a day
- Take antihistamine drug like benadryl
- Apply vitamin C serum at night.
If condition doesn't improve in a week then consult dermatologist for proper examination. Doctor may prescribe steroid ointment.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
