Itchy Inner Thigh

by joe411, Nov 05, 2007 12:06AM
I have this, what could be a rash, on my inner thigh. Its red and has bumps on it, but only when its wet like after taking a shower or putting vaseline on it. But when its dry, its flaky. and it itches like crazy. its on my inner thigh a little on my penis, as well as my buttocks. I dont have insurance so I cant afford to go to the doctor so any idea of what it is? Please Help. Thank You

Hi,

Nothing can be said with surety without having a look at the lesions.

This could be an allergic reaction to some unknown substance or dermatitis or eczema or some bacterial skin infection.

You need to wash the areas several times with fresh water. Do not use any cosmetic products at the sites.

Apply calamine lotion at the site of the lesions and see if it helps. You could take some oral antihistamine medications like cetrizine or loratadine. You should keep the areas clean and maintain good personal hygiene.

It would be advisable to consult a skin specialist for your symptoms and a proper clinical examination.

It could be jock itch too. You could read more about the condition at the following link -

Let us know if you need any other information and post us on how you are doing.

Regards.
