Patients with itchy inner thighs are not advised to disinfect themselves with alcohol.
First of all, alcohol is not a panacea, and this substance has an inactivating effect on only some microorganisms.
Secondly, alcohol is more strongly irritating and may irritate the skin, leading to increased itching symptoms.
Finally, the use of alcohol for disinfection has no fundamental effect on the cause of the disease and may also delay treatment.
