What would cause an uncomfortable rash in between a 14-year-old boy's inner thighs?

Question

It looks like a bunch of little pimples. How would someone get rid of it?

Answer 1

I agree with little orphan andy on this. It's probably chafing.  wearing some good cotton knit boxers will most likely help, and make sure you dry yourself well.  I quite often use a separate towel for drying my crotch. NEVER use your towel on your balls after you've used it on your feet!  good luck!!

Answer 2

Sounds like a heat rash or chafing. Caused by your inner thighs rubbing together while sweating or excessive heat making you sweat. Just wash it real good in the shower, and after it is dry, throw a little baby powder on them The powder should dry it up. Don't worry, it's nothing serious, happens to all us guys one time or another. Any other questions, email me if too private. I will try and help.

Answer 3

A priest?

Answer 4

Sounds like a sweat rash. Just keep it clean and as cool as you can. If it doesn't go away in a few days, see a doctor since it might be something else.

Answer 5

oh it is simply one of a number skin rashes caused by bacteria growing in warm moist places ... All he needs to do is wash the area with a mild soap ivory white soap is best ,. dry the area very well and apply Hydrocrtisone cream and dash a corn starch based powder on it ..

also wearing shorts and boxers would help because he needs more air to get to the area ... the cooler the dryer , the better ..

it should be cleared up within a week ..

Answer 6

Answer 7

just sweating will do it.  or, he could have a case of jock itch.  is he wearing briefs or boxers?  try some cornstarch or baby powder there a couple of times a day.  I know it's annoying;  I used to get that, too.

Answer 8

Like the third person stated, it's probably a sweat rash or it could be chafing. During these summer months, rashes and chafing is normal. If your legs rub together often or your genitals rub against your thighs, this is normal. Keep is dry with some kind of powder and don't scratch. Apply cream to the area everytime it itches or appears unmoisturized. Also try to keep your clothes loose fitting so your thighs can breathe. Hope this helps.

Answer 9

sweat. Get some gold bond power and keep the area dry.

Answer 10

I've been there. Put some baby powder on it because its usually painful to walk on and irritated. Have a shower. It's caused by your legs rubbing together while your sweating.

Answer 11

it sounds like you're chafing

Answer 12

it may just be a yeast infection. they are very common under the arms or between the thighs.

just make sure you dry the area well and maybe put a bit of talcum powder on and it should dry up. if it persists, canesten cream will get rid of it.

Answer 13

Yeah, chafing from your thighs rubbing together or from your balls rubbing against your thighs.  Get some Gold Bonds powder.
