I have the same problem. The doctors said to use various prescription steroid creams which are worthless. I went to three different dermatologists. With 8 appointments in six months. They all had a different answer. They never did any tests, I guess they could have examined me over the phone. I explained to them that anti fungal sprays worked for three or four days then it came back. When I used steroids it always made it worse. My leg creases were red with white inside the rash. The rash went half way down my leg. My allergist said it had to be fungal and he gave me a prescription for naftin. Finally this worked to kill the fungus but the eczema is still clearing up. The area is so screwed up because dermatologist don't do their job. They have a skin dart board.
Make sure you get the doctor to do a scraping and test for fungus.

A related discussion,
what dose this mean was started.
Make an appointment with your doctor to get some cortisone cream and in the meantime help yourself by bathing in Oiltum, a good product for ezcema. This could be contact dermatitis caused by washing powder (use one for sensitive skin) or a type of fabric? There are lots of anti-itch creams but check the labels as some cannot be used on large areas of the body. Instead i would use a cream by Aveeno or Eucerin. Also discuss with your doctor taking an antihistamine such as Clarityn or Piriton. Loiloi x
As best I can tell, you have a form of eczema. This is not an STD. It needs treatment with a prescription-strength cortisone, not a fungus medicine, because it isn't a fungus. However, the only way to diagnose a rash of this sort is to see a doctor in person. There is no need to be desperate, just to make an appointment,
Take care.
