What Can Help Itchy Wet Rash On Thighs Belly Button And Vulva
For the last two weeks or so I've had a rash of some sort in the inner crease of both thighs and in the crease of the fold of skin between my belly button and pubic area. I am overweight so the creases are somewhat prominent but I've always had good hygiene and have never suffered from anything quite like this before. At first the areas were itchy with small red bumps. As time went on the areas became more and more red, more itchy, and developed a kind of wetness... I also noticed when bathing or applying remedies that in the actual crease there was lots of stinging and pain, almost like the skin was split. Also when messing around the area it's like my skin would just rub off in my hands...I would liken it to skin breakdown? My vulva is also affected by the redness and itching. The whole ordeal is becoming unbearable and I'm desperate for relief! Its painful and aggravating...I've tried creams, lotions, powders, sprays, even hydrogen peroxide and coconut oil to no avail! Please help, I have a dr appointment scheduled for it but I really don't want to go!!

Dear Rachel,
How soon is your doctor's appointment? I would want to make sure this is not a Scalded Skin Staph Rash. (No burns involved, but it resembles scalded skin.) My son had this condition as a newborn and it is very serious. His skin, too, would just rub off, no matter how careful I was. His infection was also in skin creases. He was treated with topical antibiotics and it was effective. Since then, I have heard of using Goldenseal Powder directly on the rash with success. Turmeric, internally, is often used for staph. Turmeric powder externally may be a suitable substitute for the Goldenseal.
You could look for internet pictures of "scalded skin staph" and see how they compare to what you have.
If you should develop fever or chills or weakness with this, please get immediate help.
Please let me know how it goes. I hope you will soon figure this out and get it healed.

Leila, let's do a bit of sleuthing for the problem. Here is what I would do in your situation.
1. Use a different, non-perfumed laundry detergent.
2. Sleep in 100% cotton sheets (no microfiber synthetics)
3. Avoid use of feminine pads that are not organic Based. The chemicals to process the plastics and cotton are toxic to many people,
4. Use a soap that has black seed oil (nigella sativa) as the number #1 ingredient to wash your skin.
5. In the morning, On a low setting, dry the affected parts with a blow dryer.
6. Use a 50/50 water/ACV (Apple cider vinegar- organic) and wipe the affected areas. Let dry. It may sting. Add more water if it burns too much.
7. Apply gold bond powder after this has dried.
8. At night, do the ACV treatment as described above, then, after it has dried, put a light coating of organic coconut oil. Do not use the powder at night.
9. Take an Epsom salt bath 3-4 times a week until healed. The magnesium content will reduce inflammation. If you are near an ocean, sit in the water 30 minutes a day. Ocean water has a great amount of magnesium - much more then the Epsom salt baths.
I have used this method on many people who have fungal activity, myself included. It takes, on average, 3-4 weeks for complete healing.
I hope you get some relief!
Myway,
