Need Medication For Reddish Brown Spot On Lower Leg & Shin Bone

I have a redish brownish spot on my lower leg like right on my shin bone. I have had it now for 6 months and it won't go away. It itched in the beginning but then that went away. It also gets dry SOMETIMES. I have tried cortozone 10 and lamasil I think that's what it's called.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of reddish brown spot on lower leg & shin bone which seems to be due to hair follicle infection leading to folliculitis and it could be due to furuncle or boil. Need not to worry. Visit dermatologist once if symptoms keeps on persisting. Start treatment after complete examination and proper prescription. You should get skin patch test and allergy test done to find out exact cause of disease and start treatment accordingly. You should wear loose clothes and avoid sharing them with anyone. You should avoid touching or pricking bumps. I would suggest you to apply topical antibacterial ointment. You should apply betnovate ointment on them 2-3 times a day. You should take course of oral antibiotics. Maintain complete hygiene and keep area little dry.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
