Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be irritation, fungal infection or dryness. Avoid soaps and irritants to wash the area. Instead use saline or warm water. Using antifungal lotions like terbinafine (lamisil) will be helpful for his. You can also moisturize the leg with emollient creams containing liquid paraffin.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
