I have a rash in my inner thighs. It doesn't appear to be spreading. at first I thought it was a heat rash as I have gained a little weight and my inner thighs do rub together more, but after using over the counter cream it still is there after a week. it hasn't spread to my genitals it is just the inner thigh. could this be a STD? could it be a heat rash? any other thoughts?

Hello, The red rashes in inner thighs are most likely due to fungal infection which is known as intertrigo.It does not appear to be STD. It usually occurs due to sweating or moisture, specially in warm weather. Sometimes bacterial superinfection may occur.An examination by doctor will help to reach the diagnosis.Keep area dry and cool. Use cotton and loose underwear.You can need antibacterial and or antifungal cream.You can apply otc antifungal cream like lotrimin or lamisil till you see doctor.
I hope this information will be helpful.
Please ask if you need any clarification.
Thank you.
