What Causes Dry And Itchy Patch On Upper Thigh?

Hello, I have an ongoing dry patch/itch on my upper right thigh and have no idea what could be causing it. I have had it for several weeks and think it may be due to one of the meds I take for chronic health issues I have, but am not sure. Any advice you can give me would be greatly appreciated, and thank you in advance.

hello there, the dry itchy patch on the right upper thigh can be a fungal infection, (tinea/ ring worm), you might need topical antifungal ointment for it.
