Brief Answer:
Need better pictures and details

Detailed Answer:
Hi

I understand your concern regarding your skin problem and I hope I am able to help you in the same.
I have seen the attached picture but I must say that the picture quality is not that great.
On first look , it looks like a fixed drug eruption but I would like to have a closer look at the lesion .
Please click some close up and good resolution pictures of the affected area and upload them here on this page .
Also please tell if you took or had been taking any medicines before the development of this lesion or regularly on any medicines like pain killers or antibiotics or any other medicine .
Anything you have been applying over the affected area ?

I am sure I will be able to help you better once you provide me the pictures along with the above details.

Brief Answer:
Looks like fixed eruption

Detailed Answer:
Hi again

You have this skin lesion since a month now .
Kindly specify when did you take these supplements?Did you take them a month ago or have you been taking them now since a month .
Try to recall if the genital lesions developed after intake of the supplements,since such supplements are known to cause fixed eruptions .

Brief Answer:
Fixed eruption ,need to look into cause

Detailed Answer:
Hi again

A month is surely a long time.
But since the reaction looks to be kind off allergic in nature and is persisting in nature ,we need to be very cautious to find the exact cause .
For the time being,avoid intake of any medicines or supplements .
Apply cortisone cream over the affected area for one week.
Take tablet Claritin once a day along .
If the condition tends to persist even after one week of treatment ,see a dermatologist for further assessment.
