Suggest Remedies For A Recurring Itchy Rash On The Leg

Posted on Mon, 19 Sep 2016

Question: I have a rash on my leg that is similar to one I had as a child. The rash has re occurred a couple of times since I first had it 9 years ago but hasn't lasted for more than a couple of weeks. The rash can be itchy but does not seem to be contagious. It seems to have two states: a soft pink outer ring with a whitish centre and a soft pink outer ring with a dark red centre.
