General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

Seems you're experiencing a bad allergy reaction on the skin of your legs. You can send a photo of the affected leg to me to evaluate the changes myself. Keep using Hydrocortizone cream with Benadryl, and aloe for at least one week. Then you can resend the photo again for comparing the changes after 1 week.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Albana Sejdini, General & Family Physician
