My Inner Thigh Is Killing Me!!

[lefteye1986]

Hi i seem to have a little problem with my inner thigh im a 22 year old male,mainly my left upper inner thigh close to the groin area. some times it becomes very red and puffy and sensitive and itches the skin becomes pinkish red and when i scratch it becomes flaky and scaley, the edges look like something similar to ring worm because the rash forms like a half circle  starting at my inner thigh close to the groin area till about 2 inches towards the middle of my thigh then curves back again towards my inner thigh about 2 inches down from where it starts, usually i use 1%hydrocortizone cream and it helps for about 1-2 days then the rash comes back??  Ive had this for a few months now and cannot afford a doctor does this sound dangerous maybe STD related?? i dont know but its driving me insane someone please give me some advise....

I would say jock itch but hydrocortizone would make that worse.
The next thing is eczema. Which is a horrible disease. There is no cure or realistic treatment. The doctors prescribe steroid creams which can and will eventually make things much worse.
Stress makes the symptoms worse which creates more stress. Scratching relieves the itch but makes the itch worse. The medical community could care less about the people that suffer with eczema, as it is a big money maker and will not harm you. It might make your life miserable but they will cash in on the constant appointments and billions of dollars made on creams and ointments.
One thing I always wanted to know is why every field of medicine moves forward, except dermatology?
I believe they will be doing brain transplants and the dermatologist will still be prescribing steroids that don't work.
