A member asked:

I have a rash in my bikini area that is red and itchy. i think it's from heat and sweat, but it is not going away. what are some treatments?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Rash: If you see blister like lesions it could be herpes and that needs evaluation. However, it is likely a yeast infection, so some mycostatin or nystatin powder or other antifungal cream or powder should help. Also lying with a fan on the area to keep it cool and dry will help
