Suggest Treatment For Itchy Red Colored Rash On The Leg

Don t have insurance so here it is , I was running then I fit a huge pitch/sting my gastrocnemius part of the leg so you know exactly where it is happened two days ago . Got super itchy went away not hurting at all but it has a white center smallest dip in skin but has red ring around the white with some small discoloration around it might be because I tried squeezing the white stuff with no avail so it s not puss or anything le that so it looks like dead tissue maybe was in pool night yesterday night . Put some liquid to kill the germs that may lay on it . What s my next plan of action to see if this is serious or not ?

Hi.
As per your case history you are having mild eczematization on leg.
My treatment advice is -
1. Don't squeeze the lesion as it may worsen the condition.
2. Apply a mild antibiotic plus steroid cream like fusiderm-b cream twice daily on it.
3. Take an antihistamine medication like levocetrizine twice daily.
4. Other treatment options are oral antibiotics, oral steroid taken only after consulting a dermatologist.

Thanks.
