Eczema in between thighs
Sir, i have itching problem in between my thighs for nearly 3 months. firstly i ignored it because it very less. then i tried some cream which my elder brother used when he had this problem,but i did not used it regularly and then i just did get enough time to think much about it. But now it is out of my control i am in my company residence so i can not use any home remedy to control it. So this itching increased very much on hips and around my penis and on thighs. please provide some medicine

You may be suffering from tinea cruris which is fungal infection of the inner thighs, groin and buttocks area. It is also called jock itch. It can be treated by taking four to six weeks of anti fungal treatment which includes tablets along with creams. Do not use soap over that area. Mistreatment with over the counter Steroid containing creams like fourderm, panderm, quadriderm, dermi5, betnovate, dermikem OC, candid b etc lead to repeated case of recurrence and also side effects due to application. Do not use steroid containing combination creams. Please call me or contact me using online consult option with photos for detailed prescription. Do not delay treatment as it may spread further on your body and also to other people living in the household.

Fungal infection or Ring worm.. when occurs in groin, called as jock itch.. Usually fungal infection is common in moist areas of body like skin folds..It's mostly circular or round in appearance.. May be red or black in colour.. Treatment depending on the type and severity.. Avoid sharing clothes, towels and soap; sweating also increases it..As it has to be differentiated from eczema and infection, its a must to see and confirm the diagnosis for proper treatment..So, please send photos of the affected area by direct online consultation for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Without examination of the skin condition and knowing the extent of involvement.. along with this more information on ongoing medication or history of previous/current skin/systemic illness it is not possible to comment on the treatment that would suit you best. You should send me images through private online consult for a better assessment of the problem and approaching it accordingly. Hope this is helpful.

This may not be eczema.  May be a fungal infection.  So kindly do not ignore.  See a qualified dermatologist near you or send in the photos and details of lesion on direct consult.  Warm regards Dr Govind Suresh Mittal, Therapeia Skin Hair and ENT centre, Bengaluru.
