Male inner thigh tinea

Male friends often feel that there are some problems with the skin on the inner side of their thighs, which is always itchy. This means that they have developed tinea cruris, so they should choose a treatment method that suits them based on the examination results so that they can make targeted improvements. Otherwise, many red spots will grow on their skin, making the itching sensation even stronger.

It often occurs on the skin of the thigh opposite the scrotum, on one or both sides, and is mostly annular or semi-annular patches. Initially, a small patch of erythema appears on the inner side of the upper thigh, with scaling on it, and gradually expands and spreads to the surrounding area, with clear boundaries, papules, blisters, scabs, and itching on it. The central part can heal on its own, with pigmentation or scaling. Over time, the local skin will become infiltrated and thickened, often with itching. In severe cases, it often expands to the inner side of the thigh, perineum or around the anus, and its lower edge is mostly clear. Sometimes it can also affect the scrotum, the root of the penis, etc.

It is often caused by Epidermophyton floccosum, Trichophyton barbae, and Trichophyton rubrum. Sometimes, Candida albicans also invades the groin area and presents as erythematous and scaly patches with papules and urticaria on the edges.

This disease is prone to occur in warm and humid seasons, especially men with excessive sweating. Special occupations such as car drivers and people who sit for long periods of time are also prone to the disease.

Obese people should take a bath frequently and apply powder, etc.

Treatment of tinea corporis. Since the skin of the pubic region is relatively delicate, care should be taken not to use overly irritating lotions to avoid irritating the skin. Generally, compound resorcinol lotion or 1% econazole or clotrimazole cream can be used. 2% miconazole, bifonazole, ketoconazole, sertaconazole, butenafine, and terbinafine cream can also be used.

Oral griseofulvin has a certain effect, but it is easy to relapse after stopping the drug, so it is not suitable for use. Fluconazole, itraconazole, terbinafine, etc. can be used for a short period of time.

All annular or semi-annular skin lesions caused by pathogenic fungi invading the inner side of the groin are collectively called tinea femoris, which is actually a special type of tinea corporis in the pubic and femoral area.

Dermatitis and eczema are often used as synonyms to refer to a type of skin inflammation, representing an allergic reaction of the skin to a variety of substances such as chemicals, proteins, bacteria and fungi. The word eczema has no special meaning, while dermatitis has a limited meaning. If dermatitis is used instead of eczema as a diagnostic term, it refers to a combined reaction of the dermis and epidermis, which can be acute, subacute and chronic. The causes of dermatitis and eczema are very complex, and can be simply divided into internal factors, external factors and other factors.
