So embarrased - what can I do about this rash?

[234712]

I have named changed.

I have put weight on recently due to some new medication.

I was shopping today and my groin felt a bit uncomfortable, when I got home and checked the area between my groin and thigh has a red sore rash in my bikini line area this is clearly because I have gotten so fat because it has become a sort of fold of skin (I had to move my thigh to one side to look at it) :( I am so ashamed.

What can I do? I can get to Boots etc tomorrow. Please don't tell me I need to see my doctor I am so ashamed to have a rash down there because my thighs are so fat.

Ach, don't be ashamed!

You can get Canasten HC which is canasten with hydrocortisone in it, clear in a few days if it's just a sweat rash (which probably is). Once festive season is over, you can (if you like!) do something to prevent recurrence.

Might be worth getting wee swab at docs if it keeps coming back.

Have you any sudocrem ? This works well. It it doesn't it maybe fungal so anything for jock itch will do. I wouldn't be embarrassed about it its incredibly common.
