Red Rash On Vagina And Inner Thigh, Itchy. Applied Monistat Cream. Help

I recently (like two week ago) got a dry red raw rash on the outer portion on my vagina and inner thigh it was at first itchy an then I thought it could be a yeast infection . I applied monistat cream for a little while and one side it cleared up but on the other it only did a little bit it isn t itchy at all anymore i then decided to have down there to let the area breathe more and a few days later I notice today that I have developed a different kind of rash that is kind of bumpy and just sore but it s only on the inner thigh that didnt clear up all the way! I have chrons and I also embarrassingly dont wear underwear all the time and this rash came on today when I was wearing sweatpants. Today I also noticed that I was a little bit damp down there but it general I was sweating all day ( I wa wearing alot of layers) and I went to the bathroom multiple times as well to wipe off the dampness because I didn t want it to harm the rash that was already there. But when I got home I notices the sore rash on my inner thigh. I m not itchy down there at all

hi, thanks for posting your query.

You seem to have fungal infection on your inner thighs.
Sweat, moisture, lack of areation in the area facilitate the growth of fungus. Anti fungal creams are helpful but they are not able to eradicate the infection completely. Oral anti fungal medication may be required.

Also you seem to have develped secondary bacterial infection over the rash which has made it sore.

You may consult a dermatologist for proper examination and appropriate treatment. You may get a blood sugar analysis done to rule out diabetes.

Hope this helps you.
