I've been having this really annoying itching on my upper thighs and buttocks for the past four months. It gets so bad every day that it's causing rashes, and there seems to be a different layer forming on my skin. What could be causing this, and what can I do to treat it? I'm really looking for some advice to relieve this discomfort.
