Suggest Treatment For Rashes In The Legs Radiating Towards Thighs

I have this rash on my body. It started on my legs. I thought it was because of a puppy that my brother had in his house, my sister in law looked up what he was scratching and biting his hair out from. Well this started at my leg and then started moving upward to my inner thigh, then my stomach, now my back, neck and face. Now they got rid of the puppy about three weeks ago. The rash got worse as of the last 2 weeks. At first, it seemed as if it was leaving but its getting worse. It s attacking my face. It now looks like bruising is appearing in spots. Help me. I have a lot of discomfort. Im currently waiting on health coverage and I have no money to be seen

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of rashes in the legs radiating towards thighs which is very common as dirt and moisture get trapped by your clothing and the friction that comes from sitting can these symptoms. It could be due to blockage of sebaceous glands leading to folliculitis or boils. Need not to worry. You should void touching or pricking rashes. I would suggest you to keep this area clean and dry , apply cream containing azelaic acid , apply warm compresses with soaked towel and apply vitamin C serum at night. If condition doesn't get better then consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor will examine physically along with blood test and sample for lab test . Doctor may prescribe immunosuppressants , antibiotics like clindamycin , anti inflammatory or anti fungal . Doctor may also prescribe benzoyl peroxide ointment .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
