Suggest Medication For A Rash In The Arms And Legs

I ve been having a rash in arms and legs for several weeks now. Initially the bumps were starting small, but round, itchy, and hard to the touch, then they would extend very large, in arms and legs, mostly on the thighs, and feel very hot to the touch. Then gone in a couple of hours. Now I have two patches, one on each thigh, that are not going away.

Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hi,

The common cause for itchy rash in thigh is Tinea cruris (Fungal infection). But it is evanescent, it could be an urticaria (hives). Empirically, you could take an antihistamine tablet for few days. But, I advise you to consult your dermatologist for arriving at a final diagnosis and to initiate the treatment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
