Brief Answer:
Seems to be fixed drug eruption to medicines
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
I have gone through your complaints as well as reviewed the attached photograph.
It seems your friend has developed fixed drug eruption to some medicines.
It is a common type of drug reaction mostly to pain killers, antibiotics ( mostly for loose motions ) or any other medicines.
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to identify the drug causing it and avoid using it in future.
Meanwhile to resolve the reaction he can use a topical steroid antibiotic combination like mometasone and fusidic acid cream twice daily on the affected areas for 7-10 days.
If associated with itching or irritation take antihistaminic like tablet levocetrizine 5 mg once or twice daily depending on the intensity of itching.
These are prescription drugs and you need to see the doctor in person to get them.

Dr Asmeet
