Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi I am a female and have had eczema most of my life. However some years ago i discovered that the rash on my inner thighs which i had for quite sometime was actually jock itch, I was surprised that something so contagious that I constantly itched didn t spread to any other part of my body. The antibiotics and cream worked and I used a powder to absorb as much sweat. However it came back a year later and on my thighs. Again the antibiotic and cream worked. Dried my clothes in the drier, changed my towels as often as possible but it just keep coming and going and on different parts of my feet and legs now. And I m still treating my eczema. This is frustrating, why is this happening? Ps I have no pets.
From the symptoms that you mentioned,it seems that you may be having some kind of mixed skin infection. If i were your treating doctor,i would have advised you to apply some cream preparation containing anti-bacterial,anti-fungal and corticosteroids. After doing a thorough clinical examination,i would have also prescribed you a course of oral anti-fungal tablets in the required dose.
I would advise you to go and consult with your dermatologist or GP so that he can examine you clinically and prescribe you the required medicines. Maintain personal hygiene. Wear loose cotton clothes instead of tight fitting garments.
Hope this would be helpful to you. Take care
