What causes little bumps on shaft, inner thigh and elbows?
Patient: rash which started at base of crotch as a couple bumps and is now spread in that area, on shaft as well (just red, puffy and pinkish), and a bit on my inner thigh (where it is red and pinkish more than anything with no dots or anything and now looks like it is starting on the inside fold of my elbow but as little bumps. Doctor: Hi.As per your case history you are having fungal infection called as tinea corporis.My treatment advice is – 1. Maintain good hygiene and bath twice daily.2. Apply an antifungal cream like clotrimazole cream twice daily on it.3. Take an antihistamine like levocetirizine for 7-10days .4. Other treatment options are oral fluconazole, itraconazole and terbinafine  given only after consulting a dermatologist.Thanks.Dr.Harshit Bhachech.MBBS, DDVL.
