Hi,
Thanks for sharing your concern with us.
You seem to be suffering from intertrigo. It presents itself as red itchy or burning macerated red rash in the areas of constant friction and sweat. To treat it, you may follow these suggestions
Wear loose cotton clothes
After bathing always dry the area properly. Keep the area well ventilated
Dust the area with clotrimazole powder after bathing
Apply a mild steroid antifungal cream like HH zole cream.
Try and reduce weight.
Hope that answers your query.
Take care

Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
You are suffering from Intertrigo- inflammation of body folds characterized by redness and irritation over the affected area. It most commonly affects our crural folds ( Fold between abdomen, thigh and scrotum/ Labia).
Now the very first thing is you should not wear jeans for long term, rather should wear some loose pants made of cotton clothe. The undergarments are to be changed twice in day. Avoid excessive exposure to heat and humidity. Do not scratch the area of itching. At night time give warm water compresses to soothen your skin. I day time you can use Dusting powders to reduce sweating.
For the Dark areas of your thighs, Kindly reduce your weight. Till the time you are not reducing the weight, the continuous friction and trauma will cause increase in pigmentation. You can apply Hydroquinone containing creams or azelaic acid cream or glycolic acid cream to the affected areas under dermatological guidance.
Hope this information will help you.
With best health wishes,
Dr Sanjay K Kanodia

Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
The description is typical of fungal infection
It has nothing to do with jeans...
Local and systemic treatments can clear it - but you should firt SEE a dermatologist to confirm...
Frequent urination is probably from urinary infection. Diabetes and some other unusual causes are not likely at this age / and without other associated symptoms. Urine routine and culture will be ideal. If recurrent, you will benefit from ultrasound scans / and renal function must be tested...
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
