What To Do For The Sudden Itching And Bruise In The Thigh?
While standing outside having a conversation my outer thigh started itching as if a bug had bitten me. I scratched it, but not hard as the scratching made it hurt. Once, I was back in my car I pulled up my pant leg reveling a bruise/rash with reddish coloring and no indication of an insect bite. I m not sure what to think of this. Please help, should I be alarmed?

Hi
You surely seem to have developed an insect bite reaction .
Avoid touching or scratching the affected area . You might need to take some oral anti histamine agentine Benadryl to control the allergic response .
Application of topical steroid creams also helps .
Avoid application of any other cream or oils .
