Suggest Treatment For Itchy Lesion On The Thigh
Hello, I am a 38 year old female. Three days ago I noticed a small lession on my skin, on the internal side of my left thight right above the knee. It was itchy that's why I noticed it. At first thought it could be a reaction after shaving because I had shaved my legs the night before. The itchness went away so I thought the rash had gone away too, but I was gettting dressed and looking at the mirror when I noticed the "rash" was still there. I went ahead and applied hydrocortisone that day and the next day, but I notice that it does not quiet look a rash no more. it looks more like a bruise may be. I have not applied the hydrocortisone again. What could this be?

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms seem to be related to razor burn.
You should avoid shacing or touching the area until it gets better .
I also suggest using aloe vera gel for local application
I suggest using cold compresses and calamine lotion.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
