What Causes Dry Skin Along With Red Itchy Rashes On Legs?
I am a 57 year old african american woman with a red dry itch rash on my legs and ankle area of my feet. It s like patches or red. My doctor didn t know what it was but prescribe bento.... I also used Eucerin and Cortizone-10. It stops the itching but does clear up. Also, if I don t use it, the patches get really dry. I think I should go to a dematologist.

Hi,
I understand your concern.
The rash you have on your legs, seems to be due to dry skin. ( seen in diabetes , aging)/ allergic .Betnovate cream should be mixed with moisturizer for local application. follow the application for few days after the problem goes. Continue using moisturizer to avoid dry skin.Use glycerine soap , avoid exposure of legs to heat/ cold/ wind.
In case there is no relief, You should consult a skin specialist .
