Red Rashes On Left Calf Muscle, Itching, Turning Black, Spreading. On Calsoft Lotion. Treatment?

Hi Doctors, Initially, had itching and it produced more rashes/red patches near my left leg calf muscle . The Itching sensation got more and more and red patches in skin became Black in colour. I thought that ll end there, but from Calf muscle it came up to thigh s and spreaded to Right leg also. Due to itching, i ve started applying CALSOFT Lotion. Please suggest me, if there is any food items, i need to avoid.

Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hi ,
Thanks for writing in.
The condition can be tinea corporis,granuloma annulare,contact dermatitis etc.

A visit to your primary care children specialist or dermatologist will be required for proper diagnosis.
Till the time you can apply antifungal cream like clotrimazole cream over the affected area and take antihistaminic tablet like cetirizine .
Hope this helps.
