Dear
You seem to be having a fungal infection of the thighs and this seems unrelated to your previous history of eczema. are these patches circular or nearly circular? Is there a central clearing with more activity at the border?You might get lab test in the form of scrapings for fungus in KOH get done to confirm that it is indeed ringworm. In the meantime anyone with such a picture can be given anti allergic like cetirizine and rest of the treatment can be planned after your lab test result is shared. By doing as advised you are bound to get relief soon. All the best.
