Hi Dear ,
Welcome to HCM,
Understanding your concern . As per your query you have red swollen patches on the thigh .
The patch you mention in query are probably occur due to allergic reaction or infection like fungal infection .
I would suggest you to keep this area clean and dry . Apply over the counter anti inflammatory + antifungal cream .
Do not scratch or touch patch again and again . If condition doesn't get well then consult dermatologist .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
