I am in Bahrain and moved here four years ago. My skin suffer extreme dryness in the last two years and used to apply moisturizing cream two times in a day. Recently noted some patches on skin, two places on both legs on and one neck. A few days back,consulted a dermatologist when I was on vacation in India and was prescribed Nuforce antifungal soap and ketoconazole cream 2%. I like to seek an opinion on my above condition. I am reasonably healthy and do not have diabetics or other issues.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have dry patches on legs and neck . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like result of sensitivity to sunlight , eczema , psoriasis , seborrheic dermatitis or impetigo I would suggest you to consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor may order certain test like skin patch test , allergy test and blood test to find out the exact cause . Doctor may prescribe antifungal like fluconazole , immunosuppressants , anti inflammatory and corticosteroid cream . For now prevent it from sun , wear loose cloths , apply petroleum jelly and keep yourself hydrated .
