What Causes Severe Dryness And Itchiness On The Thighs?
I went on a slide and slide yesterday and it was covered in dish washing detergent. I ve woken up this morning feeling dry and super itchy. I have a rash on my thighs, back of my calves and wrists stretching towards my elbows. Can the detergent cause this or do I have a more serious problem?
