Suggest Treatment For Red Patches On Legs And Arms
Hi. I have recently gotten red patches on my legs and arms. The biggest one is about the size of a dime. There are probably 3-4 others much smaller. The top skin easily came off. I m putting extra skin lotion on but it is not going away. Could it be a virus of some kind?
Hi, welcome to HCM, these lesions are probably fungal if they have regular borders. You can use a skin cream with steroid and anti fungal agent. If the borders are irregular it is probably an allergic reaction and an anti allergic tablet should help.
