I have been experiencing itching and small rashes under my thigh for a month. Why haven't Quadiderm and Clop-G worked effectively?

Asked by Female, 37 · 2 months ago

Quadiderm and Clop-G are steroid-based creams that may temporarily reduce redness but don't cure fungal infections, which are common under the thighs. If it's fungal (like ringworm), steroids can even worsen or spread the rash. An antifungal cream is usually needed instead.

I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing persistent itching and rashes under your thigh. It can be frustrating when treatments like Quadiderm and Clop-G Cream don't seem to work effectively.

Here are some important points to consider:

  • Clop-G Cream contains gentamicin (an antibiotic) and clobetasol (a potent steroid). It is designed to treat bacterial skin infections and reduce inflammation.
  • If your rash and itching have not improved after a month, it could be due to several reasons:
    • The rash might not be caused by a bacterial infection but possibly by a fungal infection, allergic reaction, or another skin condition that these creams do not target.
    • Prolonged use of potent steroids like clobetasol without proper diagnosis can sometimes worsen certain skin conditions or cause side effects such as skin thinning or irritation.
    • Incorrect application or insufficient duration of treatment might also affect effectiveness.

Given your symptoms have persisted for a month despite treatment, it is important to have a thorough evaluation by a dermatologist. They can examine the rash, possibly perform skin tests or cultures, and recommend the most appropriate treatment based on the exact cause.

Please avoid self-medicating further and seek professional advice to ensure safe and effective care. If symptoms worsen or you develop additional signs like swelling, pain, or fever, seek medical attention promptly.To narrow down potential causes, we will need some more information.I understand you've been dealing with itching and rashes under your thigh for a month and that Quadiderm and Clop-G haven't been effective.
