I went to the gym and after i didnt change my boxer briefs so i think the moisture from my sweat mixed with friction between my upper thighs caused this rash. I itched it a lot because i didnt know it was there until like a few days later because it was on my upper/inner thigh. I have put antibacterial soap on it but it wont go awya. how can i treat it besides going to a doctor since i dont have the time.

use neosporin and wait for a few days for it to go away

Stop by any drug store or Wal Mart and get some AVENO lotion or cream. It is for minor skin irritations like this, bug bites, poision ivy, ect. Pretty much any skin rash. It sooths the skin and keeps it from itching while it heals. You can also get AVENO body wash if you would rather use it in the shower than rubbing it on in lotion or cream form. It's the best thing I have found on the shelves for rashes.

I would use Benadryl cream or cortisol cream as directed on the package. Before you put any clothes on put corn starch on it. It's very soothing and will prevent further chafing. Try wearing soft cotton shorts or pants until it has healed. Best of luck on it!

Try getting an over the Counter Hydrocortisone anti-itch cream,
That should work. You might be a little allergic to the detergent or the elastic in the underwear too.

You have jock itch. Give it a good wash before bed, dry it very well, and sleep naked (helps keep your stuff dry). Gold bond powder can help, and I often will use a germ-X type wipe to kill the nasties. Also, they sell over the counter jock-itch creams.

It could be from alergies, try washing it with a warm cloth with soap. then take a benedryl, put some anti-itch cream on it and maybe some ice to keep the skin from swelling

Don't use soap, and don't wear knickers if you can. Use a thrush or fungus cream for treatment. You can buy them over the counter at the chemist/pharmacy. Tell the chemist so you get the correct cream.

try Benedryl cream and quit scratching. if a few days of this doesn't help, switch to an antifungal cream.
