Are Round, Non Itchy, Dry Patches On Hip Eczema ?

Hi! I have about three round, not itchy, dry patches on my hip. One about the size of a quarter and the others dime size. I also have a tiny one developing on my back. I tried putting vitamen E oil on it thinking it was eczema or something but they won't go away.

Dear Friend
Welcome to Health care magic. I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I will shortly try to help you with my opinion.

Dry patches on the buttock area can be due to eczema of fungal infection. Both of these are usually associated with itch . But in diabetics, the itch may not be present.

The treatment for both of these conditions is different.

I will advice you to send pics of the lesions and also tell me about your age and blood sugar levels so that i can advice you further.


Based on the available details, this is my best advice for you. Or you can consult your nearby doctor so that examination of the lesions can be done and correct advice can be given.
Stay Healthy.
