What Causes A Rash On The Leg?
I have a rash on side of my leg on the calf. I have on both legs but the left is swollen and one of the sore or rash hurts like a bruise when I touch it. No other pain than that. The dermatologist says I have dry skin but medicine I got is not helping.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Is there any itching present on the rash? Have you had such a rash ever before in the past? Did you injure yourself on that area? If the doctor has said dry skin, then you must apply deep intense body moisturisers at least 3 times a day.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Smruti Pevekar
