Red itchy bumps on the thighs in this weather are usually folliculitis or a fungal (tinea) patch, and sweat plus tight clothing keeps it going. Keep the area dry, wear loose cotton, and stop any steroid cream if someone has given one, because that makes fungal infection spread. A plain antifungal like luliconazole or terbinafine cream twice daily for 2-3 weeks, with cetirizine at night for the itching, helps most such rashes. If the bumps are pus filled, painful or spreading fast, it needs an antibiotic instead of an antifungal, and the two are not interchangeable.
Next Steps
Send me a clear photo of the rash on a Practo consult and I will tell you exactly which cream and tablet you need, and for how long. Do not scratch or use any random combination ointment till then.

Thighs par red, itchy bumps allergy, insect bite, folliculitis ya fungal infection ki wajah se ho sakte hain. Bina lesions dekhe exact diagnosis confirm karna difficult hai.
Tab. Levocetirizine 5 mg HS × 5 days
Calamine lotion affected area par 2–3 times/day
Moisturizer regularly
Next Steps
Agar 5–7 din mein improvement na ho, bumps spread hon, pus/boils develop hon ya itching bahut zyada ho, to dermatologist ko consult karein. Lesions ki clear photo bhi helpful rahegi.
Health Tips
Area ko clean aur dry rakhein, scratching avoid karein aur tight/synthetic clothes avoid karein. Bina diagnosis ke steroid-containing combination creams (jaise steroid + antibiotic/antifungal) use na karein.

Please attach a picture of the bump. It’s very important to know if it is a boil, pyoderma , insect bite or fungal infection. And the treatment is completely different for each one .
Next Steps
You can take tab cetrizine 5mg once , if the itching is persistent. But it won’t be helpful if we don’t know the exact cause.
