Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have mild rashes on inner arms and thighs which seems to be due to bacterial infection of the skin and soft tissue due to compromised immunity of your body and increased susceptibility of getting infected. There can be other reasons also like contact dematitis , psoriasis and scabies. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to start with oral antibiotic course of Amoxycillin 500 mg in combination with clavulanic acid 125 mg for around 1 week. Apply topical antibacterial ointment neosporin or gentamicin on these rashes twice daily and take over the counter anti histamine like benadryl. You should take oral painkiller as well. Visit dermatologist once and get it examined and start treatment after proper prescription. Doctor may prescribe immunosuppressants along with corticosteroide ointment and vitamin supplement .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
