Hi doctor,
I have some reddish spots particularly in the back of my leg, which is growing, itching, and spreading on my skin. If I apply Candid B solution regularly, it gets reduced and disappears. However, if I stop using this solution, it starts growing back. What is this? Please suggest some permanent solution for this.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
- I need to know some history before giving an appropriate diagnosis.
- Did you have a fever before this rash?
- Do you have a sore throat?
- Is it only on one leg or both the legs?
- Any burning while micturition?
- Any history of joint or abdominal pain?Â
- Are the lesions blanchable?
- Investigations to be done:
- CBP (complete blood picture).
- ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate).
- ASO (antistreptolysin) titers.
- CUE (complete urine examination).
- I suggest using Eumosone (Clobetasone) cream for local application, twice daily for two weeks. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and start using the medicine after their consent.
- Take bed rest for two days, and elevate your legs above the head level by keeping a pillow under the legs while sleeping.

Hi doctor,
Thanks for replying. I do not have any rash, fever, sore throat, burning on micturition, blanchable lesion, and abdominal pain. Is it only on one leg and near to abdomen, which looks like a ringworm. I am also attaching a photo of the lesion.
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
- In the image (attachment removed to protect patient identity), it is not looking like a fungal infection. It might be allergic dermatitis.
- Try using the suggested medicines and do the mentioned tests after consulting your doctor.
