What Do Dry Patches Of Skin On The Legs Indicate?
I have dry patches of skin on both legs, starting a little above the knee, extending down the calf. It appears to be a red itchy rash. There are a six or more areas ranging from 3 square inches to 16 square inches. How should I treat it, or should I visit my doctors.

Hello,
From your medical history, I can think of possible fungal infection of the skin. However, it could be of great help if you could send me a picture of the affected areas. To my opinion, should consult with dermatologist and run skin scrapping examination under microscope to determine the right diagnosis.
Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
