Thigh rash that smells really bad? Please help?!


Question: Thigh rash that smells really bad? Please help?
At least I think it's a rash, anyway. It's on my thighs right by my crotch, and it smells really bad. The skin is all pink, too, as if an entire layer or two of my skin peeled off. The whatever-it-is started about a month ago. It used to hurt, at first, but no longer does. Now it just stinks. Badly. I thought it would go away, like most rashes do, but it hasn't and I'm starting to worry.

Does anyone know what it is? Should I just try and put some antibiotic cream on it? I'd really like to try to cure it myself before resorting to a doctor's visit.

BTW, it's not an STD. I know that for a fact.


Thanks in advance!

Answers:

sounds like it could possibly be a yeast infection, these are fairly common in females. there are a few over the counter medications you can buy. try somthing like monostat or an antifungal cream.somthing specifically for yeast infections. if those dont work you should pay a visit to your doctor, they could give you somthing stronger to clear it up.

When yahoo answers is your first resort, and a doctors visit is your last resort...then i would say you have some issues with your priorities. The one thing that raises a red flag to me is the smell. That alone would send me to the doctor, also the fact that it's only gotten worse, not better. Could be a bacterial infection of some kind. But only a doctor could tell you that for sure.



I'd see a doctor
