Guest guest Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 Hi Betty, I think you probably need to see a dermatologist (skin Dr.) They would just take some scrapings off the affected areas, doesn't hurt! And look through the microscope immediately and tell you what it is and prescribe the right cream to help. They are experts at this, so much more than our General and Internal Medicine. Could just be a skin fungal infection, but it takes the right diagnosis to get the right cure. Best Wishes, hope this helps! Love, S. skin question > Hi all > I have anotherquestion...this time regarding my crazy skin. For the past couple of weeks I had been battling eye infections, throat infections, wicked cough etc...... During that time and before this all came on I might add. I had a few areas on my legs .raised red dry skin that is only occasionally itchy. It is on the back of leg (calf area) on the left and now has many more patches, I also have it on the shins bothe legs and now patches have showed up on the thigh..inner & front also on stomach & side a couple of small areas that are itchy. I had great plans to go to walk in this morning but slept in and now am heading off to work...I did put a cream on which my doctor had given me for excema...but it doesn't really seem to help to much so any suggestions would be appreciated. > Thanks so much > Betty > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
