Skin scratches may seem like a small thing, but when clothes are rubbed against the skin for a long time, the scratch can become a bigger problem. Most cases of the rash (redness) between the thighs are caused by scratches. The skin area can become irritated, and if sweat gets blocked under the skin, the rash can lead to infection. Fortunately, most rashes can be treated at home before complications occur.

Steps

Part 1 of 2: Cure a rash

1. 

   Choose breathable clothing. Wear cotton and natural fiber clothing all day. Underwear must also be 100% cotton. When exercising, wear synthetic materials (like nylon or polyester) that absorb moisture and dry quickly. The clothes you wear should always feel comfortable.
   • Try not to wear rough, rough, or moisture-free fabrics (such as wool or leather).

2. 

   
   
   Wear loose-fitting clothing. The clothing around the legs should be large enough to keep the skin dry and ventilated. Do not wear tight or tight clothing. Clothes that are too tight will rub against your skin and cause scratches.
   • Most of the time, the rash between the thighs is caused by scratches or yeast infections. High or uncontrolled blood sugar in type 2 diabetes can also cause yeast to thrive.
   • Scratches usually occur along the inner thighs (undergarment lines are usually the starting point and a rash spreads down the thighs), groin, armpits, under the breasts and under the abdomen, or between skin folds.
   • Occasionally, redness can occur in the nipples and the skin around the nipples (especially in women who are breastfeeding. In this case, take your baby to the doctor for a yeast infection). in the mouth!)
   • If left untreated, the scratched area can become inflamed and infected.

3. 

   
   
   Keep skin dry. Avoid getting your skin wet, especially after bathing. Use a clean cotton towel to gently pat your skin, as the skin can get irritated if rubbed. You can also use a hair dryer on the lowest temperature to blow dry completely. Avoid using high temperatures, as this can make the rash worse.
   • It is important to keep the skin rash dry and sweat-free. Sweat contains a lot of minerals that can cause a rash even more.

4. 

   
   
   Know when to see a doctor. Most scratched rashes can be treated at home without medical intervention. However, if your condition does not improve in 4-5 days or progresses, call your doctor to schedule an appointment. This is especially important if you suspect the rash is infected (if you have fever, pain, swelling, or pus around the rash).
   • Avoiding friction in the rash, keeping it clean and lubricating the skin will improve the condition within 1-2 days. If you still don't start to feel better at this point, call your doctor.

5. 

   Follow your doctor's instructions. Your doctor will examine you for lesions on the rash. If infection is suspected, a culture test may be ordered by the doctor. This test will reveal the strain of the bacteria or fungus that is causing the infection and what medicines to take to treat it. Your doctor may prescribe one or several of the following medications:
   • Topical fungicide (for a yeast infection)
   • Oral fungicide (if the topical fungicide is not working)
   • Oral antibiotics (in case of bacterial infection)
   • Antibiotic topical (in case of infection)
   • White vinegar and water (mixed in a ratio of 1: 1) lightly apply to the rinsed rash thoroughly, then apply rashes, thrush or yeast if necessary.

Part 2 of 2: Relieve itching

1. 

   Wash the skin rash. Since the skin rash is sensitive and sweat is possible, wash your skin with a mild, odorless soap. Wash with warm or cool water, and be sure to wash off soap. Residual soap residue on the skin can further irritate the skin.
   • Consider using plant-based soaps. Look for soaps made with vegetable oils (such as olive oil, palm oil, or soybean oil) vegetable glycerin or margarine (like coconut butter or shea butter).
   • Be sure to take a shower right after sweating a lot so that the rash doesn't get wet.

2. 

   Apply baby powder. When your skin is clean and dry, you can apply powder to prevent moisture from accumulating between areas. Choose odorless baby powder, but be sure to check that the ingredients contain talcum powder (talc should be used sparingly).
   • If there is talcum in the powder, use it sparingly. Some studies suggest that talcum powder is linked to an increased risk of ovarian cancer in women.
   • Avoid cornstarch, as it can facilitate bacteria and fungi that cause skin infections.

3. 

   Use oil to lubricate your skin. You should lubricate the skin of your feet so that the skin surfaces don't rub against each other. Use natural lubricants such as almond oil, castor oil, fleece or chamomile oil. Make sure the skin is clean and dry before applying the oil. Consider applying a gauze to the rashes to protect the skin.
   • Apply lubricating oil at least 2 times a day or more if you notice the rash is still rubbing against each other or against your clothing.

4. 

   Add essential oils to the lubricant. While it's important to lubricate your skin, you can also use herbal oils for its healing effects. You can add some medical honey to take advantage of honey's antibacterial and antifungal properties. To use herbs, you can add 1-2 drops of the following oils to 4 tablespoons of lubricating oil:
   • Calendula oil: This flower oil can heal wounds on the skin and acts as an anti-inflammatory.
   • St John's wort: Commonly used to treat depression and anxiety, but St John's wort has long been used to treat irritated skin. Children and women who are pregnant or nursing should not take St John's wort.
   • Arnica oil (Arnica oil): More research is needed to understand the medicinal effects of this herb oil. Children and women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should not take cannabis oil.
   • Yarrow oil: This is an essential oil extracted from marigold that has anti-inflammatory and healing effects.
   • Neem oil: has anti-inflammatory and wound-healing properties. Neem oil is also used to treat burns in children very effectively.

5. 

   Try the mixture on the skin. Since your skin is already sensitive, you should determine if a mixture of herbal oils is causing allergies. Dip a cotton ball in the mixture and dab a small amount on the inside of your elbow. Cover with a bandage and wait 10-15 minutes. If there is no reaction (such as redness, throbbing or itching sensation), you can use this mixture in this whole. Try to apply the mixture at least 3-4 times to keep the rash on your skin.
   • These herbal blends are not recommended for children under 5 years of age.

6. 

   Soak an oatmeal bath. Pour 1-2 cups of rolled oats into knee-length nylon sock. Tie the sock tightly so that the oatmeal doesn't spill over and tie it to the tub's faucet Turn on the warm water that flows through the oatmeal and fill the bath with a full tank. Soak for 15-20 minutes and pat dry. You should soak it once a day.
   • A soothing soothing bath can be helpful if the scratched area is large.
