Suggest Treatment For Dry Itchy Patches On Legs
Hello Doctor, I have dry itchy patches on my legs that have spread up to my thighs. I have used antifungal creams prescribed by a physician but it works for a few days and the patches get bad again. The patches get very dark sometimes and itch very much. Is there anything I can do to get this problem away? I would be very grateful for your assistance.

hi, welcome to HCM,
Most common cause of dry itchy patches is lichen simplex chronicus.
apply clobetasol oint twice daily on patches (don't continue this for more than 3 week).
apply emollient lotion all over the leg before applying steroid ointment.
take tab levocetrizine 5 mg once daily at night.
this will solve your problem.
thanks
