It is very common to have a rash on your inner thigh. The area between your legs has the perfect environment for fungal, bacterial, and other infections to develop and grow. Usually, clothing and underwear can trap in sweat, moisture, and heat making germs and bacteria flourish. Chaffing and friction on your upper thigh skin when you walk can just aggravate the problem even more.

For example, the length of time you were in the sun, what time of day you were sunbathing, and what type of skin type you have, all affect how long a sunburn lasts.
