Hi
Welcome to health care magic forum
Thank you for your query
I understand your query regarding your skin problem.
It look like you have urticaria with atopic dermatitis.
you have dry and senesitive skin over affected area.
you must apply good moisturizer lotion 3 times a day over leg
keep your body hydrated with drinking plenty of water a day
wear loos e and cotton cloths.
you can use mild steroid cream over it.
it is better to consult dermatologist for proper treatment.
you can continue anti histamiic medicine,
urticaria in your case is chronic .you need to take medicine when required for it.
I hope I answered your query.
I find this answer helpful
