Is my inner thigh irritation a fungal infection?

Patient's Query

I have some irritation and dark skin in my inner thigh and groin area n tiny black bumps it seems to be fungal infection

Dermatology

Answered by Dr. Anju Methil

It does sound like it could be a fungal infection, which is pretty common in these warm, moist areas of the body. Well, these infections thrive in such environments, causing symptoms like you're experiencing. To address this, it's essential to keep the area clean and dry. You can try using an antifungal cream available over-the-counter. Wearing loose-fitting clothes made of breathable fabrics can also help. However, if the symptoms persist or worsen, it's best to see a dermatologist for a proper evaluation and treatment.

hy dear ,mam me skin problem fungal infection ring worm plz send me medician body wash soap

Male | 20

There’s a chance you have ringworm, which is a type of fungal infection. This illness can cause itchy or red circular patches on your skin. Fungi that love warmth and moisture cause this problem; so it’s common in hot weather. Treat it by applying antifungal creams and body washes recommended by a dermatologist. Also, make sure you keep the affected area clean and dry.

It appears like a serious wound infection in your big toe. This case needs to be brought to the attention of a doctor straight away. You may need to see a dermatologist or a podiatrist to get the problem sorted as soon as possible to avoid more complications.

Face par khujali hoti h kuchh samay pahale se h ye problem

Male | 19

Aapke chehre par khujali hone ke kai kaaran ho sakte hain, jaise ki allergy, dryness, ya skin conditions jaise eczema. Kabhi-kabhi, stress ya kuchh khane ki cheezen bhi iski wajah ban sakti hain. Aapko pehle to kisi soothing moisturizer ka istemal karna chahiye. Agar asamarthan bana rahe ya aur bhi bura ho raha ho, to ek dermatologist se sampark karna behtar hoga. Wo aapki samasya ko achhe se samjhega aur sahi ilaaj de sakta hai.

Female | 22

You experienced an unwanted reaction to the serum. Peeling, dry skin often results from overusing harsh products. Stop using the serum right away. Prioritize gentle moisturizers, avoiding irritating formulas. Allow time for natural healing. Over a few days, your complexion should improve and regain balance.

I had a blade injury four days ago…the wound become white colour…i havent consult a docter yet

Female | 26

A wound turning white may indicate the presence of fluid or a potential infection. Such changes can be caused by various factors, including inflammation or inadequate healing. It's crucial to keep the area clean and dry. I recommend gently cleaning the wound with soap and water and applying a sterile dressing. However, since it’s been four days without professional evaluation, it's wise to consult a dermatologist. They can assess the condition accurately and suggest appropriate treatment to ensure effective healing.

Is there a chance to be caught by Hiv if someone's diabetes needle pricked my hand

Female | 19

The likelihood of HIV infection is negligible if a diabetic needle pricks your hand. HIV is transferred via blood, however, the needle prick is not a high-risk exposure. If you are concerned, watch out for symptoms such as flu, fever, or rash. If you see them, go to a doctor.

Hi. I have brown dots on my forehead and cheeks bones. I have been using vitamin c and la roche-posay effaclar duo with +M. But the dots are not going.

Female | 21

Brown splotches on the forehead or cheekbones may be due to a skin condition known as hyperpigmentation, which indicates that certain areas of the skin produce more melanin, in dark spots. The easiest way to improve the situation is to use skincare products with vitamin C and avoid sun exposure. Still, patients need to understand that it does take a little time. The use of sunscreen can help prevent the spots from getting darker. You can visit a dermatologist in case of failure.

Infections like these can be the hard-headed ones. It's crucial to seek advice from a healthcare professional to find out the most effective treatment option.

Female | 28

You need to use a vitamin C serum that can contain up to 10% L-ascorbic acid so that it can help to lighten the spots on the skin and improve its complexion. Regular acne and scarring should be taken by the dermatologist. I suggest obtaining a dermatologist’s opinion.

Female | 51

It sounds like you're experiencing significant discomfort and ongoing symptoms, which could stem from various issues, including skin conditions, circulation problems, or inflammation. The recurring rashes and swelling in your ankles, along with pain and tingling, warrant thorough examination. I encourage you to consult a dermatologist or vascular specialist who can assess your situation comprehensively. In the meantime, elevating your legs and avoiding tight footwear may help alleviate some swelling.

White patches on your shaft are around sometimes because of a fungal infection called candidiasis or a disorder like lichen planus. These can show up after sex, especially if unprotected. These can be cured by taking medications ordered by a doctor after proper diagnosis.

I am 36 years old and have wrinkles on my face so I can make those wrinkles go away

Male | 36

Wrinkles is due to shrinking of skin with collagen loss. First is improve life style, eat proteins, sleep well, drink water and eat. Lots of antioxidant foods without fail each day, reduce smoking , sugar intake and carbs. Now come to local application of sunscreen, and Vitamin C serum in morning, Retinol and peptide serum at night. Next as soon as u are 35, start collagen building treatments as Mesopen, PRP, Q switch, HIFU or peels so that u stimulate collagen and look younger. Take collagen pills to help tighten skin. You can also visit dermatologist near you for detailed consultation.
