Itchy rash

[phil07]

I have had a rash on the inside of my left leg for about a month.   It is very large and itchy.  Please can you tell me what it is?  Thanks

Hi,

Are you allergic to any specific substances? Have you taken any medications for the lesions?

You should keep the areas clean, wear cotton socks to avoid sweating, use a powder to keep the areas dry , use calamine lotion at the sites. Oral antihistamine medications would help if the lesions are itchy.

If your symptoms persist it would be best to consult a skin specialist because nothing can be said with surety without having a look at the lesions.

Let us know about how you are doing and if you have any other doubts.

Regards.

My friend had a rash in exactly the same place and her's turned out to be psoriasis. It could also be contact dermatitis from washing powder, new clothes or new boots?
make a doctors appointment as a month is quite a long time and in the meantime use a product to ease the symptoms. the ranges by eucerin, aveeno and oiltum are particularly good. loiloi x
