Rash Like Mark on Leg

I have had a red rash like section on my upper inner thigh for about a month now, this area does not itch at all. It appeared after I went hiking through a local forest. The skin in the area feels dry and dead like, I tried to exfoliate the area to see if that would help, but the texture of the skin feels the same.

Does anyone know if there is anything I can get over the counter that would help this or something I could do?

p.s. You don't have a target looking rash do you? If so you should get tested for lyme's disease. It would look like a bulls eye rash. If it looks like that take a photo and see a infectious disease doctor right away. Or a lyme specialist. If that is what you have message me and I can talk to you more about that. Other wise, it probably is just something you came in contact with.

It may be an allergy or some type of contact dermatitis. Try topical hydrocortisone.
