Hi,

You might be suffering from allergic contact dermatitis due to stocking or sometimes the medication used in powder form in the stocking. you need to avoid the allergen in order to treat the disease otherwise it can spread to cause contact dermatitis. Mid potent steroid is commonly given to treat the acute case.

Hope it helps. If you have any other question please do not hesitate to contact us.

Regards,
Dr. Atishay Bukharia
