Sore

[lizmurphy61]

Has anyone had a red sore in their groin

[Lynora]

In the crease in the skin where knicker elastic sits? On the lower abdomen? Upper inner thigh? Or, on the genitals?

[Lynora]

Liz - I should also have added - get yourself checked by a GP - just to rule out infection - either bacterial or fungal.

Hi lynora its in The crease where the elastic bit on my knickers are.I got new under wear in a size 14 as I felt that some of my 12 ones were pinching just at that bit

[Lynora]

It could be a reaction to the latex in the elastic, but you should get it checked to rule out infection, as I mentioned above.

[Monica1]

Yes get it checked out as like Lynora says it could be an infection and need antibiotic

Please go see your doctor to rule out cellulitis. My daughter just experienced a very severe bout which began in her groin area and placed her in the hospital for four days. She was placed on IV antibiotics and it was extremely painful. Cellulitis can be very dangerous if the infection gets into your bloodstream. Please let us know what you find out.

I have a few times hun never went to geť it checked just dealt with it myself. I never thought off it being related to lymphedema, do u think it is?

[Lynne-byn]

Can I also add it wasnt on knicker line but alot closer, like a boil. As said thankfully was able to treat it. I felt disgusting. Do u guys think this is related? I'm new to all this. Have realised stress makes it worse

[lizmurphy61]

I have I constant red rash which my doctor gives me cream for I wash the area three times a day and cream three times a day it gets lighter but never goes completely I only started suffering with this a year after my last stay in hospital which is three years now

[wolfess]

oh, this is bizarre, I have angry looking red marks and rash in groin and lower belly, am washing with santex, with teatree oil added, really helps to relieve the itching and pain, tt oil is a natural antiseptic and anti-fungal, at least it makes me feel clean, don't worry about the smell, it goes very quickly... brilliant stuff, I also douche with a weak solution, have also tried weak Dettol, but found this burns and stings the rash.

[Brandish54 in reply to wolfess]

Thank you I shall give this a go my rash is lower belly and groin also

[wolfess in reply to wolfess]

OOPS, SANEX, NOT SANTEX....LOL.X
