How Should I Treat A Small Red Dry Patch On The Front Of Leg?
I have a small red dry patch on the front of my leg about the size of the. First I thought it was a scratch because the consistency a scab. It is now gotten a little larger and it's just very very much. Could this just be dry skin? And if so, could I just use a lotion or maybe and in an antibiotic ointment.

Hi,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
I read your query and understand your concerns.
This is a normal scab which might have appeared after a wound. Dont do anything as it will go off by itself. If its itching too much apply little domestic oil like coconut oil. It will surely heal in a week
Let me know if you have anymore queries.
