Suggest Remedy For Large, Circular Red Walt On Thigh
I have had a large circular red welt on the left back upper thigh, and and elongated one on my left instep of my foot. I first noticed this 2 days ago and applied topical benedryl but they have not gotten smaller or better. In fact the one on the foot has gotten worse.
It may be Tinea cruris and corporis....also called ringworm infection. It is caused by fungus..dermatophyte. There may be unbearable itching. Kindly consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment.
I would suggest..
- antihistaminics like levocetirizine - anti fungal like itroconazole - anti fungal cream like sertaconazole - avoid soap bath - dettol liq for bath - keep the area dry
I hope this would help you...
Thanks.
