Is the area between your legs itching so much that you feel like scratching it like a mad bull. Are you seeing a red patch growing in the affected area which makes you scratch it like a lunatic person. Then you have come to the right place as I had faced the same problem a few days ago and have now overcome this terrible itch-ache which made the area between my legs red and moist. Let me first tell you how this problem arises and who face these problems the most.
You must have observed that the itching red area is usually very moist. The reason is quite simple. Due to some reason the temperature of the area between your legs gets very hot and hence your sweat glands sweat heavily in order to bring the temperature of the hot skin to normal. As this area becomes warm and moist with your sweat, its chances of getting infected with bacteria increases a lot. Such red itchy patches are also reported to be growing in areas like armpits and the waist (which also sweat a lot). Hence a few people got rid of their itchy red skin by using antibiotics as suggested by their doctors. Whereas a few tried using lotion in the affected area only to worsen the case and scratch more than what they often did. People who run a lot or play a lot or work at places where they sweat a lot (gymnasiums) get these problems usually. People sitting at the same spot with tight undergarments will also suffer with the above said problem. The solution is quite simple.
First of all your sweating has to be controlled. Gym trainers cannot avoid jogging as it was a main part of their cardio exercises. Similarly there are many people who cannot avoid their work till the red itchy skin gets healed. I warn you at the beginning itself: do not use deodorants or body odors at such areas. Doing so might make the condition become even more severe or in some cases complicated enough to confuse your doctor. The skin at the affected area is very delicate and hence deodorant might chemically react and cause new un-restorable complications in your skin.
The best way to get rid of this dirty itchy red skin is to use a talcum powder. Use the powder to dry the affected area. Apply powder to the affected area and go to sleep with the affected area exposed to air as much as possible. This will dry the skin at the earlieast and make you feel more comfortable by the time you get up for your bed coffee. Before going outside apply talcum powder to the area between your legs or to the patch which has become itchy and red. This has worked for me and I am completely confident that it will work for you too.
Do not stop bathing. In fact bathing is required to kill the bacterial infection. Use a good soap which has natural ingredients more and less chemicals. Avoid cosmetic soaps while bathing. If possible use neem soaps or good antiseptic soaps which can kill bacterial infections. If all the above remedies are found to be not-so-effective you should go for the village remedy: Dip neem leaves in hot boiling water and leave it for some time till the juice of neem leaves gets mixed with the water. And now bathe in this antiseptic water (mix fresh water to make it luke-warm). This is the best antiseptic natural remedy to get rid of the dirty red and itchy skin. It was quite surprising to see that most of the doctors are unaware of such problems and are left with blank looks on their faces once they hear such problems. Some doctors told their patients to leave the infection die its natural death. But the torture is so tremendous that you cannot bear even a single more day with it.
As far as clothing habit is concerned: avoid wearing jeans under all circumstances. Wear clothes which will help circulate air throughout your body and keep you dry and clean as far as possible. Avoid underwears with tight straps. As the skin is very delicate, these straps rub hard against them and create more bruises and infections. Avoid wearing tight clothes. Wear loose cotton clothes as far as possible. Always wear a banyan. This soaks the sweat and keeps your body dry. Avoid tight underwears under all conditions.
Eat healthy food. Avoid sweets till the itching stops. Sweets attract more bacteria and make you sweat a lot if the energy consumed is more that the energy requirement of your body. Avoid eating filthy and junk roadside food. Piss and poop regularly. Drink lots of water and urinate a lot. This helps you filter off the bacterias from your body. The patch becomes extremely red and looks very horrifying after a few days. Do not panic. A few antiseptic creams will help. But again creams create the problem of excessive sweating. So use antiseptic powders instead. Powders have proved to be very effective in my case. I am sure that the above tips will help you get rid of the red hot itchy spot between your legs as quickly as possible. If you have any personal suggestions please leave them in the comments section. Have a nice day…..
