Treatment For Swelling And Redness Between Thigh And Vagina

Hi Doctor. I am experiencing swollen, redness in my deep inner thighs to the outside of my vagina. There is no weird discharge, lumps or sores, neither is their itching. my inner thighs have a huge patch of swollen redness and the other side of my thigh have a small red inflamed patch. I have no idea what it is.. Can you please give me a diagnosis. I went to a drop in clinic today and the on call doctor only taken a brief look and said looks like an allergic reaction and prescribed some anti-fungus cream. do you think its fungus? not itchy just red and swollen. Please help me

Hello,
Thanks for your query.

According to your description , swelling over your inner thigh seems to be inflammatory in nature. It could be an acute attack of gout.
I advice you to give you rest to the part affected, take anti-inflammatory drug like motrin 1 tablet with food as and when required (upto 4 tablets daily) to reduce pain and inflammation and consult your doctor for thorough examination and rule out any infective cause.

I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
