Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
from the description provided we can think of few possibilities like drug rash
(as it started after intake of medicines), fungal infection(tinea corporis/ring worm), xerosis or eczema.
These lesions can be easily identified by examining them. For the same, please upload good resolution image of affected area. You may upload the image by clicking on upload report/image icon which is on right side of query page or you may send it to attachments@healthcare magic.com. Please mention ATTN DR KALPANA PAthak in subject line.
A drug rash would respond to steroid and emollients. Also the culprit drug needs to be stopped. Eczema or xerosis too would require same treatment. Tinea needs oral and topical antifungal medicines.
Send me the pics so that I can diagnose your condition and suggest appropriate treatment.
Hope this helped.
Take care
