A member asked:

I have a white patchy itchy rash on my inner thighs. can it be a fungus? and how did it appeared?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

May be fungi: Definitely may be a fungus but may also be xerosis (a very fancy name for dry skin). See a dermatologist who can perform a KOH test. You will hardly feel anything and can rule out a fungus almost immediately.
