What is a rash on the inside of thighs?

Answer 1

Sweat rash can be a cause. Use talcum powder between your thighs on hot or humid days. Obese individuals are more inclined to develop rash due to increased friction along the folds of skin. Reducing weight can alleviate rash along with several other health benefits.

Wearing proper fitting undergarments can also stop this, (for males) when your boxers or other undergarments, or even pants and shorts dont fit right the stitching of the inside crotch seam rub and also cause rash.

Jock itch can cause inner thigh rash. The rash is caused by a fungus, T rubrum, which starts at the intersection of the groin and thigh usually on both sides. The rash can advance further down the thigh if not treated properly.

The rash can appear to be scaly with redness near the fold of the groin. Away from the groin it can be reddish-brown and less or not scaly at all.

OTC Treatments:

• Tinactin
• Lotrimin
• Micatin

Prevention:

• Wear loose fitting clothing made of cotton.
• Do not sharing clothing, towels or washcloths.
• Dry the groin completely after showering.
• Use antifungal powders or sprays once a day.

I found that powders, however fine, still are abrasive. If the rash is just caused by friction, balmex (for diaper rashes!)is wonderful to remove the redness and stinging. For long walks, denim seems to stay put better than lighter weight fabrics.

I found with all the solutions on the market that address rubbing, sticky and itchy discomfort on the body, (especially the upper inner thighs) Eventually will lead to chafe and rashes. Many related anti-chafe cremes, gels, lotions, sprays, etc. don't last long, Nor do they slim down those bulging areas that make contact rubbing. In addition, Support Garments are too confining and warm... but a New Product called "Thigh Sliders" does address all these issues, in a thin, light weight adhesive area shield. Whether your active, inactive, bedridden, or wheelchair constrained, (men, women and children) who are suffering, will find area support, coverage, relief and comfort... That is, until time is found to exercise, loose those inches and firm up those areas. Thigh Sliders are so soothing on the skin, you will forget they're on. They're also washable, and reusable up to 4 weeks... Read more at http://.www.thighsliders.com

Shapewear and bike shorts are ok in cooler weather but in the summer i don't like extra clothes making me hotter i found a product called secret shield at www.skindura.com that works great for me. i wear it on my inner thighs to prevent chafing.

Answer 2

I had bright red stripe in the fold of skin between mons and thigh, which appeared two days after I got a wax. It did not itch or burn, but it was BRIGHT RED. It was diagnosed as a candidal skin infection, but as I am allergic to most topical antifungals, I took Fluconazal instead (also called Diflucan--it's an oral medicine for yeast infections.) I took 1 150mg tablet and another 150 mg tablet 24 hours later. I also took 4 doses of Benadryl 6 hours apart and treated the area 3 times a day with Triple Paste (a kind of diaper rash cream, hard to find but worth it!) The Benadryl really helped with the redness, and the Triple Paste seemed to help protect the skin without causing any peeling or staining clothes too badly.

AnswerSimilar to athletes foot, you can get an infection of the groin which makes you very itchy in the inner thigh. See your GP or ask your pharmacist (caniston is usually the answer) AnswerI had this as a very allergic reaction to taking NeoCitran against a cold. It peeled off like a sunburn and took almost 2 weeks. AnswerI currently have this and have had it several times through my life. I have narrowed it down that I may have an allergy from anti-allergy meds,reaction to dye from new boxers or exposure to someone with strep. It's rather painful and currently is burning like a sunburn with beginning signs of peeling. It usually lasts a week with peeling and then finally disappearing. I was once hospitalized for this as due to the fact it was suspected to be flesh eating disease but obviously couldn't have been because it wasn't moving anywhere else.

Spectro Gel works best and apparently apply with Vinegar from a spray bottle gets rid of the burning.

AnswerA candidal skin infection or yeast infection can be a lifelong battle. You need to get your insides right and your skin will follow.

The Diflucan gives the yeast a good hit, but you need to follow up with heavy doses of probiotics to help your body fight the candidis. I found a super probiotic shot- El Viajero Bio-Salud! at my local Walmart, 5 doses for 88 cents. It contains 12.7 billion live active cultures including Lactobacilius. This is nearly 4 times the amount in most yogurts.

You may also find a beverage called Kefir beneficial. It has changed my life. Kefir contains beneficial yeast as well as the friendly probiotic bacteria found in yogurt. Loaded with vitamins and minerals, it contains easily digestible complex proteins.

Kefir is a balanced and nourishing food that contributes to a healthy immune system. Kefir has been used to help patients suffering from AIDS, herpes, cancer and chronic fatigue. People with sleep disorders benefit from kefir's tranquilizing effects, as do people with depression.

Kefir helps to prevent intestinal disorders, promotes bowel movement, reduces flatulence and creates a healthier digestive system. Kefir is a great remedy for digestive disorders. In fact, kefir's cleansing effect on the body helps establish a balanced inner ecosystem for optimum health and longevity.

Hope this helps. I have suffered for years with what I know now was yeast infections. It can cause numerous symptoms, from diarrhea, bloating, and gas to fatigue, insomnia, mental confusion and depression. I've seen a succession of doctors, who never connected the skin rash with what was going on with my gut. I even saw a gastroenterologist who had diagnosed irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and Diverticulitis. For the rash, I keep a spray bottle with water and a little vinegar to use after a shower or if the itching gets intense. I also use a colloidal silver salve, as the prescription ointments are irritating to my skin.

Answer 3

Sounds like jock itch. To make it go away, you have to buy anti-fungal medication. Jock itch is caused by sweating in the inner thighs that allows fungus to grow.

A local allergic reaction to some material chafing the leg, much as inner thigh rashes are caused by sweaty thighs chafing one another when walking fast or when overweight.
