Answered by Dr. Meha Malhotra

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Please answer a few questions for better help.

  1. I need to know the duration of these patches.
  2. Please tell me whether they are flat or elevated and their number.
  3. Are you on any medication?
  4. Are there any dilated veins on your legs?
  5. Also, please let me know your age.

For the time being, you may apply Dermocalm lotion (combination of Calamine and Liquid Paraffin).
