Question 1

i have a raised red rash which started off on my thighs and has spread up my back and stomach and down legs and arms itchy, some yellow scabbing?

Accepted Answer

Impetigo? Get seen!: It sounds like you could have a rash that became infected.  You may need oral and topical antibiotics as well as a surgical scrub like hibiclens or some hydrogen peroxide to clean the area.  Dry itchy skin becomes cracked, rashy and infected skin.  I think you should head to a physician for evaluation especially because of the yellow crusting.  Benadryl (diphenhydramine) may help with itch.

Question 2

husband has very red skin w/yellow blisters in his crotch and inside leg area. temperature 99.9.  yesterday just looked like a heat rash w/itching and burning.  today seems much worse.  the reddest i have ever seen

Accepted Answer

This : This rash could be a few different things. 
- impetigo is a skin infection caused by bacteria - either streptococcus or staph. This needs to be treated with antibiotics. 
- contact dermatitis is skin inflammation. It can be caused by plants such as poison ivy or poison oak or it can be from contact of a chemical or item that a person is particularly sensitive to. This is usually treated with steroid creams or oral steroids. 
- viral illness such as chicken pox, shingles or herpes can also cause painful blisters on a red base. This can be treated with anti-virals or just needs to run its course depending on the severity of the infection.

The best thing to do is to contact his doctor and have him seen, since each possible problem requires different treatments. Good luck.

Question 3

recently i saw a small red bump on my inner thigh then today it was now 3 small yellow colored bumps. i scratched them off but should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

Probably not, but: Stop scratching off 'bumps' unless you then disinfect them and bandage to prevent infection or irritation. You may be tough, and it may not 'hurt' but it can still get infected and lead to bigger problems than you want to invite. If it returns, go for an exam. Also, if you know of a possible risky source, have lab testing.

Question 4

9 days ago i woke up with a bruise on my inner thigh. over the next week it got worse. the center is now red purple.  edges are yellow green.  normal?

Accepted Answer

My advise is to ask: your doctor to check a Complete blood count or CBC.  This will measure your platelet count to see if you  have  easy bruisability.   Platelets are necessary for 
clotting.

Question 5

recently moved-no pcp. went to urgent care, given fluconazole. still have burning, itching, redness, rash on inner thigh. help!

Accepted Answer

BURNING, ITCHING++++: I DO NOT KNOW HOW LONG.
IF IT IS NOT A RINGWORN (FUNGUS) INFECTION, FLUCONAZOLE WILL NOT WORK!
YOU SHOULD FIND A DERMATOLOGIST SOON.
IT MIGHT BE SHINGLES, BUT WITHOUT A DECENT  HISTORY, THERE'S NO WAY TO TELL.
BEST LUCK.

Question 6

hi there, my 3,5 year old girl came home with this rash on her inner thigh that are red and a bit swolen.
what can i use to clear this rash up?

Accepted Answer

: Treatment of a rash depends on the diagnosis. Rashes have many causes and to treat the rash, you need to know what is causing it. That can only be determined by seeing the rash. So, call your daughter’s doctor and have the doctor diagnose the rash and give the proper treatment. Hope your daughter feels better soon!!

Question 7

i have a bad bug bite on my upper inner thigh it's a bright red bloch a black dot in the center it feels like a bump underneath and a close red rash?

Accepted Answer

Rash: If you did not see the bug, it is unlikely to be a bug bite in that location. You need to have someone look at it for a proper diagnosis and treatment.

Question 8

painful, red, rash on the fold of my inner thigh?

Accepted Answer

Fungus: Likely a fungal infection. Recommend you see your doctor for treatment.

Question 9

sudden red line rash with tiny individual holes/showing penetration of the skin on inner thigh?

Accepted Answer
