What course of action should you take if you have a rash on the inner upper thigh bikini line that is not raised but very blotchy and red causing some itching and irritation?

Answer 1

well its the same as any other risen.

what i did was when i took my shower everyday and night i took the shower head and sprayed HOT water on there for at least a minute or so and it came to a head and i popped it and continued doing it each day and night and it cleared!

i hope it works for you! :)

Answer 2

Given the time of year you posted your question, my guess would be that your inner thigh rash is most likely heat rash.

If you've tried ointments and creams with no success, maybe you should try powder with corn starch or something like Gold Bond powder (I'm pretty sure that's the right name) and see if this helps.

Also try to keep the area dry and sweat free. If you wear shorts, find some that won't bunch or chafe the area and that are long enough that your bare thighs don't rub together when you walk.

More input from s users:

• Just want to make sure this rash is not something caused by a new medication. If it is, you may not be able to do anything about it. A physician may be able to prescribe something, but if it could be related to a new med, please contact your doctor.

• If it is a heat rash, you can buy a jar of Stridex pads and clean the area with those. Stridex has salicylate acid which is supposed to help open blocked pores and glands. A heat rash occurs when excessive sweating can cause clogged sweat glands. I tried this, and it really did help it to clear up faster and relieve the itching somewhat. The Gold Bond powder is good for itching also, but it could contribute to the clogged pore/gland situation, and so can ointments. Use creams instead of ointments, if you use anything on it.

• Balmex works wonderfully to relieve the redness and irritation.

• Dermaid soft 1% cream" it is amazing. Use 3 times a day.

• I will suggest you to use Eurex lotion, one of the best solution for almost all sort of itching. Eurax Lotion provides relief of itching and skin irritation caused by: sunburn, dry eczema, itchy dermatitis, allergic rashes, hives, nettle rash, chicken pox, insect bites and stings, heat rashes and personal itching. Treatment of scabies.
• There are so many reasons for this. Wearing nylons can certainly cause rashes and itchy skin because nylon does not breathe. Wear cotton slacks out and forget the nylons and see if that helps. Perspiring in the inside of the legs can also cause rashes and you can use talcum powder (Gold's Talcum Powder) to help with this. You don't have to be fat to have your thighs rub together so if you are wearing jeans it could even be this. Don't wear your jeans, etc., too tight. Here are some ways you can get rid of this nasty little itch. Run a body temp bath and in a measuring cup pour 1 cup of Epsom Salts, then pour enough boiling water into it to dissolve it. Pour into bath water and lay in it (without bubble bath) for 20 minutes to 1/2 hour. This is also excellent for sunburns. Epsom Salts is not like table salt and is soothing to the body. It helps to draw-out infection, etc. A good lotion to use on your skin is "Aveeno" and many diabetic use it because they can get itchy skin. Winter weather can cause itchy skin as well. Works like a charm. Put it on every night. Please watch that rash and if it doesn't go away after you've tried what I have recommended please see your doctor. Rashes can get messy and you can get an infection.
