Suggest Treatment For Itching Blister In My Leg

I have a patch of blister like bumps ( 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 ) on front of my upper leg that s itchy. I read it could be from friction... Possible since I wear skinny jeans often.. Trying steroid cream but is this going to take time to get rid of? White female 5 6 185 lbs 66 years old YYYY@YYYY

Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hi.
As per your case history we need to ask few questions like-
Duration of skin blisters?
Are both legs affected?
My probable diagnosis in your case will be either a fungal infection or irritant contact dermatitis.
My treatment advice-
1. Don't use steroid cream. As it may only cause temporary relief and relapse on stopping it.
2. Take oral anti-histamine drug like tab.levocetrizine for itching.
3. You can apply mild topical anti-fungal cream like clotrimazole cream twice daily.
4. For perfect diagnosis and treatment consult a dermatologist.

Thanks.
