What could be the reason for a red and itchy rash that appeared after a walk in the fields?

Question

Hi doctor,

I was walking through a field, and a rash came up the next day. I have redness on my legs, and itching, and when I got in the bath, it stung, I do not know what caused it. When I press down, it turns white, then back to red. Please help.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome to Icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

I have read your query and understand your concern.

I have examined your picture (attachments removed to protect the patient's privacy). It seems you have allergic contact dermatitis or an allergic reaction to some chemical substance. Make sure that you do not get exposed to that chemical within the next ten days, otherwise, there are chances of sensitization, and can cause further flare-up of the disease. I suggest you apply the following medicines to the affected areas:

1. Dermitop (Betamethasone valerate 0.61 mg, Gentamicin 1 mg, Tolnaftate 10 mg, Iodochlorhydroxyquinoline 10 mg, Chlorocresol 1 mg) cream twice daily in a small amount for five days. Consult your doctor and take the medicines accordingly. If not resolved, then you may need oral medication. I suggest you consult your doctor or nearby dermatologist for this.

I hope this information will help you. Please revert in case of further queries.

Thank you.
