Was Under Sun And Have Painful Sensation On Skin. What Is It?
Hello, I would really appreciate it if you can explain a rash . I was out in the sun (indirect under shade), dressed wearning exercise tights for about 20min. I noticed a painful sensation growing across my left upper inner thigh only. When I returned indoors & undressed I noticed a distinct honeycomb shaped red rash along the entire inner left thigh only! It doesnt burn , or itch & is flat not raised. Can you please explain the cause&treatment? Many thanks! Mary

Hi i think it is tinea infection or due to compression of tight dressings.it points more towards tight dressing.first apply calamine lotion only over the red area it get s cured.it may cure spontaneously too .if it is not cured within 3 days get the fungal scrapings done.if it shows fungus use flucanozole weekly once for 4 weeks and apply nizral ointment over the lesions
