What Causes A Red, Scaly And Itchy Lesion On Leg?

Fungal infection
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns
I am sorry to hear that you have a lesion on your leg that is not responding to usual home treatments. The fact the lesion worsens with steroids is a sign that this could be a fungal infection also known as ringworm. I would recommend using a topical anti fungal like lamisil. If this does not help then you should see a medical provider preferably a dermatologist as this could be something totally different even possible a skin cancer
In summary
1. Ringworm or fungal skin infection
2. Try Lamisil or other anti-fungal cream
3. If not responding then see medical provider or dermatologist
I hope I answered your question. Please contact us again if you have any additional questions
