Itchy Rash On Legs, Bumpy And Red. Prescribed Cortisone Cream, No Improvement
I have an itchy rash on my lower legs. Its bumpy and red, more raised on one leg than the other. I am a 51 year old female and have never had anything like this before. It is in the same area where I got some bites - Fly I think at the end of Aug. They were blistered and very hard and swoolen. They have cleared up for a few weeks and I was putting Arnica and vit E oil on them. I went to the doctor who prescribed Cortisone cream but no improvement. Looks terrible. Sudocream seems to take away the itch sometimes!
