Could A Bug Inside The Skin Be Causing The Itchy Rash On The Shin?
I have a rash like lesion on my shin area. It seemed like it started as a bug bite. it is very itchy and as I have scratched it it has spread. I have been using gold bond powder for the itchiness to keep from scratching it. It almost seems like there is a bug under my skin that keeps it active. I think I got it while walking the beach in TX.

Hello dear welcome to HealthcareMagic
Clinically yes a bug is one of factors that cause skin itching and rashes following exposure to a beach other possible causes include food toxins cosmetic products drugs
Hence you can continue the use of the gold bond powder provided there is improvement
and ensure to schedule an appointment with a dermatologist specialist for further clinical assessment and adequate drug prescription
I hope this helps Regards
