Hi.
As per your case history of itching on shin and thighs, my treatment advice is -
1. Don't scratch the lesion as it may worsen the condition.
2. Apply an antifungal cream like clotrimazole cream twice daily on it.
3. Take an antihistamine medication like levocetrizine twice daily for 7-10 days.
If problem persists then consult a dermatologist.
Thanks.
