What Caused A Painful Rash On My Husbands Thigh?
My husband has a small rash on his thigh that is cresent shaped and is painful....like he has a fever in the skin around it. It does not have blisters. There is also a rash and bump in his groin area that is particulary sensitive and also another small rash spot on his lower back. He did recently also have a cold sore on his lower lip Could this be shingles?

Hi,
As per your query, your husband has symptoms of painful rash on the thigh and starting across the body which occur because of clogging of skin pores by debris and bacteria, contact dermatitis and could be due to viral infection.
Need not to worry. I would suggest you maintain complete hygiene and apply a cream containing azelaic acid which is good for use. Apply aloe vera gel at night. If the condition doesn't get well in a week then consult a dermatologist for proper examination and treatment. The doctor may prescribe antibiotics like minocycline, steroid ointment. You should apply Melalite XL cream which is a combination of hydroquinone, tretinoin and steroid.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
