Itchy inner thighs

In life, some friends experience itching on the inner thighs for no reason, and the itching is very strong, especially in the summer, when the itching is even worse. Many friends think that this is caused by their inadequate local hygiene. In fact, if your inner thighs are itchy and accompanied by irregular red spots, you need to consider that it is caused by tinea cruris.

The main symptom of tinea cruris is itching on the inner thigh, and the itching feeling will spread. It is also a skin disease. Because the location of occurrence is relatively special, it is better to treat it early once symptoms appear.

The fungus of tinea cruris can be transmitted through underwear, bath towels, etc., and can also be transmitted through sexual intercourse, so tinea cruris is also listed as a sexually transmitted disease. But we must not think that tinea cruris is definitely transmitted through sexual intercourse. Clinically, more than 80% of tinea cruris is transmitted through non-sexual intercourse. Regarding the various symptoms of tinea cruris, what should you do if the inner thighs are itchy? Experts from Shenzhen Boai Hospital can answer your questions.

Experts emphasize that in the process of treating itching on the inner thigh, it is necessary to avoid using irritating topical medications such as mesothelioma and pyrimethamine, so as not to reduce local resistance and cause greater pressure on the skin lesions. Not only can hormones not kill fungi, they also promote their growth and reproduction, making the fungus worse the more you apply it. It is also not advisable to use ringworm lotions that are highly irritating to the skin to avoid damaging the skin.

Treatment of tinea cruris: mainly external medication. Wash the affected area and apply compound benzoic acid ointment, clotrimazole cream, 2% miconazole cream or 1% econazole cream twice a day for 2 to 4 weeks. Because the skin on the abdomen is tender, you should avoid using irritating topical ringworm medicines. For stubborn cases with extensive skin lesions, severe inflammation, and poor treatment response, oral griseofulvin tablets, 0.6 g per day for 2 to 4 weeks, or ketoconazole tablets, 0.2 g per day for 4 to 8 weeks may be considered. For Chinese medicine treatment, 5% sulfur ointment can be applied externally twice a day for 2 to 4 weeks. Through this treatment method, the itching symptoms on the inner thighs will gradually subside.

Now you know what to do if tinea cruris causes itching on the inner thighs. If you experience this symptom, please be careful not to panic. If you feel that the above methods are not effective, you only need to go to a regular hospital for treatment. In order to ensure that tinea cruris can be cured as soon as possible, you must pay attention to taking a bath and changing your underwear frequently.
