<human>: hi, I have a patch of skin on one side of my inner thigh close to my vagina that is itchy and when I scratch it there is a sort of white powder that comes off it, there is also like a small red line of bumps that link around the edge of the itchy part. Anything would help thanks.
<bot>: Hello. Thanks for your query on Chat Doctor The rashes on your inner thighs are most likely a fungal infection of the groins(Tina courts). Tina classically presents with annular patches with central clearing and peripheral raised, red, scaly margin which extends outwards. I would suggest an OTC topical antifungal e.g. clotrimazole 1% cream, twice daily for 2-4 weeks. An OTC oral antihistamine e.g. cetirizine 10 mg once daily would provide you symptomatic relief from itching. In addition to the topical antifungal, I usually also ask my patients to take an oral antifungal e.g. fluconazole or itraconazole. However, as these are prescription products you need to visit a dermatologist for a prescription. Regards
