What Causes Itchy, Red And Puffy Marks On Upper Right Thigh?

Hello Dr. Rynne, I have recently discovered three marks on my upper right thigh. They are red and puffy and when touched they itch. Are you able to provide me with insight on what this may be. There are no marks indicating that it could have been caused by an insect bite.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

The symptoms can be related to an insect bite. I recommend to use antihistamine such as Cetirizine. I also suggest to use Hydrocortisone cream for local application.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
