Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
The symptoms which you are having is may be due to contact dermatitis, insect bite, infection by fungus or allergy to some products.
Physical examination is required to make the probable diagnosis, I would suggest you to consult your doctor for physical examination and confirm your diagnosis.If there is any allergic reactions, the allergen causing these symptoms should be identified and avoided to prevent further occurrence of the symptoms.
For your symptoms you may take
1.Oral Antihistamines
2.Avoid moisture over the leg by applying moisturizing agents.
3. Keep the area dry.
Thank you.
