What Do Recurred Itchy Rashes In The Areas Of Cellulite Suggest?

I have an itchy rash on my hips/ underwear area. I m overweight and it only appears in cellulite areas. I previously had the same thing, I put hydrocortisone cream on it, wore loose underwear and it went away; but now it s back. Do you know what this might be?

Hi Thank you for using Healthcare magic
Your problem could be due to fungal infection.Hydrocortisone is a steroid cream.It would have reduced your symptoms for the time but would not have eradicated the fungus. You need to apple an antifungal cream such as Sertaconazole cream along with an antifungal powder such as Clotrimazole dusting powder.
Hope this was helpful.
