Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of itchy rashes on the upper leg. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like dermatitis, dry skin, eczema, heat rash or sweat dermatitis or uncomfortable clothes.

Need not to worry. You should maintain good personal hygiene. Use a powder to avoid sweat collection and apply calamine lotion at the sites of the lesion. Apply ice pack to reduce redness and itchiness .It is important to wear lose comfortable clothes. If condition doesn't get well then consult dermatologist for proper examination.
