Bumps On Lower Legs, Changed To Abrasion, Itchy. No Fever. Suggestions?
My rash began with a small patch of tiny flesh coloured bumps on my lower leg, a week later the original bumps have flattened and now the area looks like an abrasion (darker in the centre and lighter pink around the edges) a few other spots have developed and all are intermittently itchy. I have no fever or other associated symptoms.

Hi
Thanks for your query
You seem to have developed neurodermatitis over the leg.
This is an itchy eczematous skin condition.
Try and avoid scratching the area as it tends to increase the eczema.
Apply topical steroid over the affected area.
Take oral antihistamines for itching.
Apply oil once or twice a day to moisturize the skin.
Hope it helps
