Hi,my name is Jacqueline. I am 30 years old. I have had a pink bruise like mark on my leg for around 3/4 months now. The reason I am a bit concerned,is that in the last 2 weeks it has gotten larger. It looks slightly scaly,but is not itchy. Thank you.

Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
A red scaly plaque could be eczema, psoriasis, fungal infection/tinea, bowen's disease( squamous cell carcinoma in situ)
I would advise advise that you meet a dermatologist nearby to get the lesion examined, so that a diagnosis based appropriate treatment can be prescribed.
Hope this helped.
Take care
