What Is The Reason For Itching, Dark Patches On Leg?

Hi, Am suffering from a very bad itching problem on my right leg , later the itching part is turning into a dark black patches . Am confused if it is because of dry skin or any other skin problem .I even consulted the dermatologist. Heasked me to use moisturisers. I have tried all possible moisturizers but the black dry patches are spreading all over my leg .My leg looks really bad with those black patches. It has even started on my left leg. Am worried. Kindly suggest.

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
It appears to be the fungal infection, or eczema, or a secondary patch to the diabetis.
I advise you to consult a physician for diagnosis and treatment, and to exclude the diabetis and hypertension.
Try to find out any allergy producing substance used regularly ,like foods, wool, soap etc.
I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms grisofulvin, penicillin V,multivitmin with vitamin A and a mixed steroid oint ment for local application.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
