Having Circular Dry Patch On My Upper Thigh.
I have a circular dry patch on my upper thigh that does not burns but sometimes itchy. It is white-like dry skin and has few really tiny dots or bumps. It sometimes also stinks so nowadays I have started cleaning it with gentle soap and water. What could it be?

Hi... It could be a fungal infection, or it can also be a vitiligo patch... if discharge is there, bacterial infection is a chance, skin is a very peculiar condition and direct examination with a dermatologist is better.

Agree with Kanye. Try putting some anti fungal powders and see how it responds.
