A member asked:

What are these dry patches and papules on my thigh and genital area?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hard to say: Sometimes a fungal infection can cause "dry" flaky rashes at inner thighs and at/around genitalia. It could be itchy, you did not say. Check it with dermatologist if it persists and spreads to involve a larger area.
