Have Marks On Thigh, Itchiness, Bruises. Taking Raspberry Keratine. Suggestion?

I have on my inner/upper thigh some strawberry marks. Yesterday there was just a few, like 'finger tip" size and thought it was a bruise. Now there are more, like 5 and it itches, but it's not a rash or hives. Not sure what it could be. I have started taking raspberry keratine to lose weight but only 500 mg. I do bruise easy, but I never seen anything like this before. What could it be a sign of?

Hi
Seems like you have developed a fungal infection ie Tinea infection...Such infections usually occur in summers due to increased sweating and improper hygiene....Firstly avoid using any kind of oils or moisturising creams over the affected region....wear cotton clothes and undergarments...take bath daily ..You might need to apply a topical antifungal cream (something like clotrimazole gel) over the region for atleast 2 weeks.....And yes, weight loss will definitely help in preventing the recurrence of such lesions..
Hope it helps
