If you have a rash on the inner thigh and it is very itchy irritated and red what can you do?

Inner thigh rash

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 FAQ Farmers:

• 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 salictate (sp?) 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.
