How To Treat Itchy And Burning Small Spot On Inner Thigh?
hi I have noticed a small spot on the inner of my thigh. Sometimes it itch s not often, but burn s when i scratch it. I have just noticed another spot looks like the same, that doesnt itch on my stomach. They appear to look like a cross between a bruise, and blood blister under the skin. Any suggestion s to what this might be? Thankyou for your time. Holly S

Hi there Holly.
I read your history & precise clinical description & compliment you on the same.
You may want to consider the possibility of a fungal infection.
To confirm the same, you may have to book an appointment with a dermatologist & get a skin scraping done (which is a minor test).
Alternatively, I suggest trying out a 2% ketoconazole cream applied locally twice daily on the lesions for about a week or 10 days & see the clinical response.
If it disappears, all is well.
If not, once again a visit to the dermatologist in order & perhaps a skin biopsy to rule out anything else.
Cheers & Godspeed!
