Suggest Treatment For Itchy, Welts Like Rashes On Both Legs
I went to the doctor today about a rash on both of my legs, resembling welts. He prescribed me a stelroid topical that I am to apply twice a day. It seems to be getting worse, and the iching is unbearable. I have tried not to scratch, but I am going insane.

Hello,
The symptoms can be related to many medical conditions. The fact that the steroid lotion was not effective,indicates that the rash is not related to welts. It can be a fungal infection. I recommend to send a photo for further evaluation. Meanwhile, I suggest to use an antihistamine to relieve the itching such as Cetirizine 10 mg daily.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
