patch of dry skin which is the shape and size of a nickel I have one patch of dry skin near pantie line which is the shape and size of a nickel on my butt. It s red with white flaky skin. it doesn t itch but i ve noticed it for two weeks now and it hasn t changed in appearance. my ankle and lower leg are swollen and remains that way.
Hi there, Regarding your first question, it could be Allergic or Irritant contact dermatitis, and you need to see a doctor to have a live look and proceed further, but for now on you can apply white petroleum jelly on the patches. Secondly I am not sure if that is the swelling in one or both the legs? It needs a detailed history and discussion to clear things up and unfortunately it's not a question answer session, so you have to see your GP. I cannot comment further cos of a very brief history I am afraid. THANKS VERY MUCH
