Dry Patch On Leg That Itches, Burning Sensation. Treatment ?
I had a dry patch on my leg that would occasionally itch , but after a few weeks the urge to scratch went away and I kept it moisturizer whiched help quite a bit. But, just today I used nair on my legs and it caused a great discomfort and burning sensation on the area. It turned a splotchy white and then it had a red irrated look. Now, it was holes in the skin as if acid burned through or something and it burns and is painful to touch.
