Why Am I Experiencing Itchy Inner Thighs, Buttocks, Waist And Numb Arm?
Hi. I have been experiencing a very itchy upper inner thighs buttocks and waist. I don't have patches of bumps. Looks kinda like a welt. I also have a redness and a bump on my penis head. There is no discharge or blister. I have had two or three before it went away and a new one started. I also have a pain thru my whole right arm. Not sure if this is retaliated or not. At night I wake up and it's asleep. This all has been going on for about 3 months or so. Is this herpes? I have seen pic and it does not look like them at all.

hi
herpes rash is not an itchy rash but is more of a painful rash burning in nature and it usually appears on the nerve areas. from the description of your rash it seems more of a fungal/ bacterial type of a rash, most commonly happens due to friction, sweat formation and heat.
keep the area clean and dry wash everyday with a antiseptic solution. then you can apply a cream that contains antibacterial/antifungal/steriod.
if after the treatment it still persists then consider consulting a dermatologist to examine it.
hope to have answered your query.
thanking you.
