Few small itchy lumps on both sides of upper thigh near vagina. Tried hydrocortisone cream, no help. Solution ?
Patient: I have a few small itchy lumps on both sides of my upper thigh near the vagina . The lumps are similar to a mosquito bite and dark red. They get very itchy. when I itch the area, the lumps seem to get bigger and more will pop up (i guess inflammation?). Sometimes the skins dry and it looks like a scab. I ve had it for 3-4 days now. I tried hydrocortisone cream 0.5% on it but not sure if it did anything. I don t sweat or exercise so it s definitely not heat rash . Please shed some light! Doctor: Hello,Thanks for the query.You might be suffering from a fungal infection,Probably candida infection.Dont apply hydrocortisone , it may worsen the situation.You can apply an antifungal cream like clotrimazole.Also take an anti histamine tablet for the itch.Dont worry you may get relief with this.Please meet a dermatologist and discuss regarding this.Let me know if you have any other doubt.you can ask a direct question to me on this forum, following the below link.https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.healthcaremagic.com/doctors/dr-rahul-kumar/64818Wishing__;!!Mih3wA!SBzm6_kI6hCZ58EPH6N_05MFfiPbxWXT0a2TJCdFQObRWm5mV5ur7hUOMa8clQ$  you a good health.Thank you
