Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of heat rash scars on thighs and legs due to frictional heat generation by constant rubbing.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to keep area clean with mild soap and cold water and apply petroleum jelly. Apply moderately potent topical steroid of triamcinolone acetonide 0.1% cream twice daily at affected sites.You should visit dermatologist once and get it examined and start treatment after proper prescription. Take tablet of cetirizine 10 mg once daily for symptomatic relief from itching.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
