Suggest Treatment For Red Patches On The Thigh
current medical history: double hernia surgery one year ago and presently with phlebitis in left leg for over 4 weeks now. received an ultrasound at md office and deep veins were clear ( 7 days ago). Yesterday I noticed a very red patch of skin about the size of a hand print at the inner top thigh of each leg extending upward to the lower half of my abdomen. there have been a few needle-like pains on the upper abdomen surface, but of no significance and the red area has no itching or pain? any thoughts?

Hello,
It can be dermatitis.
As a first line management you can apply low potency topical steroids like Betamethasone for symptomatic relief.
If the lesion persists,better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
