  5. Ive noticed a dry, flaky, white patch on the inner part of my upper thigh that keeps itching. Its been happening for a few days now. My thigh gap is pretty small, and I just use regular soap when bathing. Could this be a skin condition or something else? What should I do to treat it?

It sounds like you may be dealing with a fungal infection, such as jock itch. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Luliconazole twice a day on the affected area for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry, wearing loose-fitting clothing, and avoiding tight underwear can help with the healing process.
