Suggest Treatment For Red Rashes On Inner Thigh

I have a flat, red rash - almost looks like a bruise - on my inner left thigh. I first discovered it two days ago. Today it looks like its spreading just a little. It doesn't itch. It isn't painful. If I didn't see the rash, I wouldn't know there was any reason to be concerned. What should I do?

Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. Red rashes on inner thigh could be due to fungal infection of thighs mainly Tinea, as it localizes on body folds and thigh area.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to start with oral tablets of Terbinafine for 1 week. You should clean the skin with soap and cold water and apply petroleum jelly. Wear loose cotton clothes. You should visit dermatologist once and get it examined and start treatment after proper prescription. Take tablet of cetirizine 10 mg once daily for symptomatic relief from itching.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
