What Causes Itchy Bruise On Thighs?
I have unexplained bruising on my legs. First they developed on both calves. Same spot on both. These itches but eventually went away. Now they are back, on my thighs. They are in the same spot on both legs but do not itch. I m not sure what could cause this.

Hi.
As per your case history you are having fungal infection called as tinea corporis.
My treatment advice is -
1. Maintain good hygiene and bath twice daily.
2. Apply an antifungal cream like clotrimazole cream twice daily on it.
3. Take an antihistamine medication like levocetrizine for itching.
4. Other treatment options are oral fluconazole, itraconazole and terbinafine taken only after consulting a dermatologist.
Thanks.
