Hi,

As per your query you have symptoms of itchy rash on thighs and upper back which seems to be due to contact dermatitis which could be due to detergent, soap, environmental factors.

I would suggest you to avoid going outside in sun as it will exaggerate your symptoms. I would suggest you to consult dermatologist for proper examination. Doctor may prescribe mild corticosteroid ointment along with proper antibiotic course. As of now apply cold compresses and avoid any cosmetic product. Apply calamine lotion at back and avoid pricking rashes.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
