Question

I've been dealing with this dry patch on my inner upper thigh that's making me a bit concerned. It's flaky, white, and it keeps itching which is kind of uncomfortable. I've noticed it for the past few days. My thighs are pretty close together, and I usually just use regular soap when I shower. Could something like my soap be causing this, or is it more likely due to my thighs rubbing together? What can I do to get rid of this dryness and itching?

It sounds like you may be dealing with a fungal infection, such as jock itch. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Luliconazole twice a day on the affected area for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry, wearing loose-fitting clothing, and avoiding tight underwear can help with the healing process.
