What Do Round Red Colored Rashes On Thighs Indicate?

default
Posted on Tue, 18 Nov 2014
Question: Hi. I need help! I been having this rash for almost two months now. It started as four red round patches on both outter thighs I went to the doctor and was told that it was a fungal so I was prescribe this cream. A few days later I noticed that my feet had a rash and everyday it was getting bigger and itchy during the night time. So I go back to the doctor and this time I was told it was an allergic reaction I had from taking singulair which I only took four pills in a week course Pill was taken only at bedtime so I stop taking the pill and was told that it takes 10 days to leave my body. So I waited during that time I'm beginning to notice red dry spots around my body lower back behind my knees buttocks area inner thighs. So I go back to doctor n they change my fungal cream to an ointment. I used the ointment and I think my rash is getting better. Another few days passes and I notice some days they r bigger while other days not. I go back to the doctor this time a different one and I was told I had scabies. So I do the rinse treatment not once but twice. Throughout this whole time I changed detergent, bar soaps, no perfume, sheets, scarfs, everything you named it I did. I even soak my feet n bathe in Apple cider vinegar, used tea tree oil everything. So now is almost two months I still have the rash. My feet rash is getting smaller but some spots around my body that were pinkish are turning to light brown. I have fair skin so I see everything. I even went to an allergist to check on my allergies and I'm allergic to regular stuff like trees elm, oak, birch, cats n dogs, peanuts, dust mites, roaches.
I'm a heavy water drinker I am not a smoker, I'm over weight but no high blood pressure not diabetic all my blood count are good. I'm going insane with this rash. Please help me.

Brief Answer:
Tinea cruris most probabaly.

Detailed Answer:
Hi, Madam

I have read your query and understand your concern.

I have gone through your images as well.

First let me tell you that Singulair is not responsible for the foot rash and allergic phenomenon.This drug itself is anti allergic and how can it provoke allergy.

Second this is not a typical scabies pattern as it does not present with enlarging patches ,but a typical papulo-vesicular rash.


The condition in your case most probably represents a form of fungal infection called Tinea cruris.

The ideal treatment would be oral tab terbinafine 250 mg twice a day for 14 days.
I also recommend you to stop lotrisone,but continue synalar.

Please consult your doctor with regards to the above drug changes before taking them.

post your further queries,if any
Thank you.
