Large Pink Spotches On Thighs, No Pain, Enlarging, Itchy, Burning Sensation. How Can I Treat Them?
Hi. I am 68 and have lost about 36 lbs since Dec 2012. I have been riding an exercise bike and walking a lot. Also change of eating habits. A number of weeks ago I noticed large pink spotches on my thighs but no pain. Within the last few days these have enlarged and itch and have a burning sensation (like sunburn). Especially after a shower. Any idea as to cause and how to treat them. Thanks for taking your time.
