Rash in genital area

by Beauls, Jun 11, 2007 12:00AM
My daughter is 19 years old. She has had a rash for the past 4 or 5 months in her genital area. The rash seems to be where her pantyline is and a little on her leg.  It looks like pimples and she seems to be very worried about this.  Is it anything to be worried about?

Hi,

This could be dermatiitis, acne, pimples, eczema or due to sweat or frictional trauma.

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

Does she have any other associated symptoms?

She should keep the areas clean and maintain good personal hygiene. She should wear lose clothes. Apply calamine lotion at the site and see if it helps with her symptoms.

Let us know about what your doctor advises and post us about any other doubts that you might have.

Regards.
