Hi,
I understand your concern.
The itching & redness in fold of upper thigh, is usually due to-
- Excessive sweating due to close approximation of part ( like that in bulky thighs) leading to irritation, / fungal infection of skin .
- Allergy - to cosmetics, shaving, undergarment materials.
-Exaematous infection.
Management is-
By applying anti fungal ointment along with steroid skin ointment,
Anti allergic pills
Reduction in body weight,
Changing the materiel of undergarments.
Thanks.
