Suggest Treatment For Rash On Calf

I ve had a rash on my right calf - started on the front, now to the back. It started about a month ago, using Benadryl type product and hydrocortisone 1% cream to relieve the itching sensation. Thought it might be related to generic pills (the filler) for aspirin or magnesium, discontinued both. Tends to be worse at end of day.

HI
Thanks for posting your query to Healthcaremagic.

There are many causes of skin rash like

1. Infections : Due to bacteria , virus or fungus.
2. Reactions : Reactions to medicines or food or chemicals.
3. Diseases of the skin.
4. Autoimmune conditions : Like Lupus , etc.
5. Vitamin Deficiency.

I need to see the skin rash to determine what is the cause of it so kindly upload the picture of it .

Also let me know whether have you taken any medicine or any unusual food before the occurrence of rash. Also let me know since how long this rash is there ?

Revert back with the details and picture for further discussion.
