Hi,

It may be candidal intertrigo with xerosis on limbs. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. Antihistaminics like Cetirizine daily with antifungal like Ketoconazole daily for two weeks would improve the condition.

Keep the internal areas dry. Apply antifungal cream like Clotrimazole cream. Skin on limbs may be itchy due to dryness. Apply moisturizer like liquid Paraffin cream. Avoid soap bath. You may use Dettol liquid for bath.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilyas Patel, Dermatologist
