What Does A Raised And Itchy Rash On The Lower Leg Indicate?

I have a rash on my lower leg that is raised and extreeeemly itchy. I have tried every kind of cream I can think of. Tea tree oil, antifungal, taken erithomiacin, lice medicine, dandruff medicine, hydrogen peroxide, alcohol, neosporin, sivadine, sulpfer, and nothing seems to help.

Hi,

It may be allergy, contact allergic dermatitis. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. I would recommend you to apply steroid cream like fluocinolone cream twice a day and to take anti-histaminics like Tab cetirizine 10mg daily at night. If needed, oral steroid may be taken in tapering dose. Avoid soap bath. Avoid some dietary stuffs like eggs, fish, prawns, soya, curd, cow milk etc.

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

Regards,
