Skin Rash
by Linda, Dec 08, 2000 12:00AM
I have a rash on my inner thigh. I've had it for about a month now. Someparts of the rash are raised, and others are not. It is not itchy. And it doesn't bother me. It is about 6 inches long. I live in a cold climate in Pittsburgh, I have not used any thing to put on since it does not itch. Do you have any suggestions?

Hard to say, Linda: coud be eczema or fungus or irritation. Try applying two over-the-counter creams once daily each, 1& clotrimazole and 1% hydrocortisone. If the rash persists beyong 10 days, ask a doc to have a look.
