Q. What could lead to the development of dark lines on both the thighs?
Hello doctor,
I recently developed dark lines on both my thighs. What could these be and how to cure them?
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to iclinq.com.
I want to know a few things:
- Since when it appeared?
- History of any autoimmune disorder?
- Excess scratching and rubbing?
- History of weight gain or loss?
- Was steroid cream used in the past?
- History of fungal infection in the past?
Answer the questions for details.
Thank you.
Hello doctor,
The lines appeared at least a year ago. But, then, there was no scratching or rubbing. No weight loss because of it. Once I had a fungal infection, but it was above my thighs and not in the area where the lines occurred. After that, I used the anti-fungal cream once or twice.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
It looks like an autoimmune disorder, lichen planus pigmentosus (internal cause or atopic).
My advice:
Consult your specialist doctor, talk to them and take medications with their consent.
- Apply Tenovate (Clobetasol 0.5 %) cream at night for 15 days.
- Moisturize the area frequently with an intensive moisturizing cream or gentle moisturizing lotion.
- Use Cetrimide (Ketoconazole 2% and Cetrimide 0.5%) soap for the bath for one month.
- Tablet Antoxid HC (Beta carotene 30 mg, Zinc sulfate monohydrate 27.5 mg, Monohydrated selenium dioxide 0.2 mg, Manganese 2 mg, Copper 1 mg) once daily after dinner for 30 days.
- Tablet Limcee (Ascorbic acid) 500 mg daily after breakfast for 30 days.
- Apply Aziderm (Azelaic acid) 20 percent cream at night for one month.
Additionally,
- Avoid scratching and rubbing the lesion.
- Wear loose, comfortable thin cotton clothes.
- Avoid friction.
- Get routine blood check-ups (complete blood count, urine routine, and blood sugar levels) done.
- Follow up with reports after a month.
Regards.
Thank you.
