What Causes A Red Spot On The Upper Thigh?
I have a small red spot on my upper thigh that wasn t there last night. It was light red this morning and got darker throughout the day. It is not a bruise. It doesn t hurt, is not a uniform shape and is not raised in any way. This happened once before (about 2 or 3 months ago) in the exact same spot. The last time it happened, it was already beginning to fade by the next morning and was all but gone by that night. What is this and should I be worried? I m a 38 yr old female and take Humira for severe Crohn s disease.

Hello,
I have gone through your query and here is my advice.
As per your history it may be contact dermatitis.
For that you can apply hydrocortisone ointment locally. In case of itching, take tablet loratidine.
Maintain proper hygiene. Use loose cotton clothes. Avoid harsh cosmetic products.
I hope I have answered your query and let me know if I can assist you further...
Regards,
