What Is The Cure For Rash On Inner Thigh With Fishy Smell?
On my inner thighs on the outside of my vaginal area, on both sides I have something that looks like a rash and it smells fishy. Its not an odor coming from my vagina at all, just the area around it. Im using a anti-fungal cream and its slowly taking it away until i wet it and it seems to flare up all over again. What is it and what can I get to treat it over the counter if possible???

Hi,
Looks like you have developed a fungal infection of the groin region.
Do not apply any kind of oils or creams over the affected area.
Keep it clean and dry.
Wear cotton undergarments in order to decrease sweating.
Use an antifungal cream over the affected area twice a day.
You may take antihistamines for the associated itching.
If this does not help, you might need a course of oral antifungals.
You should see a nearby a dermatologist in that case who can check and guide according.
Hope it helps
