Patient Question

Hello Doctor,

I have a rash on both my inner thighs, a patch on my upper bum area on one cheek, which is very itchy and looks like small bumps. There’s also a bit on my scrotum, which is dry, but nothing on my penis or anywhere else on my body. What could this be?

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

Based on your description, it sounds like you may be dealing with a skin condition such as contact dermatitis, jock itch (Tinea Cruris), or another similar issue. The rash could be caused by friction, sweating, or irritation in those areas, leading to itchiness and bumps. It’s important to have a proper medical examination to confirm the diagnosis and receive the most suitable treatment. If the rash persists or worsens, I recommend scheduling an appointment to get evaluated. In the meantime, keep the area clean and dry, avoid scratching, and refrain from using new soaps or detergents that could further irritate the skin. Please keep in mind that this advice is general, and your specific condition may require a more tailored treatment plan. I look forward to assisting you further.

Thanks
