Suggest Treatment For Extremely Itchy Rashes On The Legs
I have a rash-like area on my leg that itches very bad and is sore. This is not the 1st time that I have had it. It lasted about 2 weeks the last time I had it. It really hurts. It starts out to be very smooth and then turns scaly. Any ideas of what it might be?
Hello dear I understand your concern Rash in the leg could be due to contact dermatitis/eczema, lichen planus, psoriasis. I would suggest to consult the dermatologist and undergo detailed examination and skin biopsy to confirm the cause. Doctor will give following advises Topical steroid ointment Topical benadryl cream Topical application of immuno suppressant after confirming the diagnosis. Maintain proper pelvic hygiene, drink plenty of water, take healthy diet. Hope this may help you
Best regards Dr. Sagar
