Hi, my names Mandy! For awhile now I've been experiencing itching in the crease between my thighs and vagina. No odor or itching is coming from my vagina. This is external itching only. I am a larger female and I do get warm down there often. What could this be?
I would keep a possibility of fungal infection. This are because of closely apposing body folds e.g thighs and groin, axilla, submammary folds etc can trap sweat, heat and moisture, therefore making the area favorable for fungal proliferation.
If I was the treating doctor I would have asked you to use a topical antifungal like clotrimazole cream, twice daily, regularly for 4 weeks.
An OTC antihistamine e.g cetrizine 10mg once daily would help you in symptomatic itch relief.
Keeping the folds dry by using an antifungal dusting powder would help in preventing the recurrence.
regards

What Causes Itching In The Groin Area?
Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic I would keep a possibility of fungal infection. This are because of closely apposing body folds e.g thighs and groin, axilla, submammary folds etc can trap sweat, heat and moisture, therefore making the area favorable for fungal proliferation. If I was the treating doctor I would have asked you to use a topical antifungal like clotrimazole cream, twice daily, regularly for 4 weeks. An Oral antifungal e.g fluconazole is also advisable for a more complete cure An OTC antihistamine e.g cetrizine 10mg once daily would help you in symptomatic itch relief. Keeping the folds dry by using an antifungal dusting powder would help in preventing the recurrence. regards
