Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at Health Care Magic..

I would recommend you to upload the pictures of the affected area so that I can have a clearer picture of the condition and can guide you accordingly.

Dr Asmeet

Brief Answer:
This should resolve it in a week's time

Detailed Answer:
I have reviewed the attached photographs and it is irritant reaction to either something you have used or applied on your leg or due to bite or crawling of an insect.

If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to apply steroid antibiotic combination cream like cortisone neosporin ointment on the spot twice daily for 5-7 days and take antihistaminic like tablet chlorpheniramine 4mg once daily at bedtime
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
