Suggest Treatment For An Itchy Rash In Groin Region

I have had this very itchy rash up on the inside crease of my leg for about a 2 weeks. it doesnt really bother me until I touch it then it starts to itch so bad! There are tiny bumps in a patch where it is itching and it kind of flares up when im scratching it. When im not messing with it I dont feel any bumps. I hate to have to go to the doctor. Oh there is no burning when i urinate or redness or itchiness in my vagina just on the crease of my inner thighs. And the itchiness comes and goes only when I scratch. I often wear spanx and have picked up some weight. And I ve had a weak bladder recently making it difficult to get to the bathroom fast enough. I find that this region has been moist recently due to sweat.

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi,

The rash could be a tinea infection (fungal infection of groin) or intertrigo (Inflammation of skin folds which could be due to a variety of causes).

Tinea infection is usually treated with antifungal medications and intertrigo is usually treated with mild steroid medications. Steroids can worsen tinea infection. So, it is advisable to consult your Dermatologist to arrive at a proper diagnosis and for initiating the treatment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
