Have Few Red Patches Of Skin Around Inner Thigh And Pubic Area. Any Home Remedy?
I am a 16 year old female and I recently noticed a few patches of skin around my inner thigh/pubic area have become red, raw and peel a little. They scab overnight but I am a dancer so when I dance and exercise, they hurt and become raw again. It s very uncomfrotable and would love an answer for a home remedy or something. Thankyou

Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
You seem to be having intertrigo.
To treat the same
Apply a steroid antifungal cream like hydrozole cream
Wear loose cotton underclothes
Keep the area sweat free and well ventilated as much as possible
Also dust the area with absorbant antifungal powder like clotrimazole powder to prevent recurrence
Hope that helps
