Dry leg patch

44% Normal
6 Comments

On both of my legs I have a part on my calf thats dryer than the rest of my leg. No matter how much lotion I put on it, it stays dry and a light red color. Its really unattractive, and if I wear a skirt I get self concious that if someone touches my leg they'll think its gross or weird. Its more severe on my left leg, and it has a bumpy texture to it. I dont think its razor bumps because I went a while without shaving and the dryness stayed the same. IIN?

Is It Normal?

    Sounds like eczema for sure. Go to a dermatologist, but you can try every day. It can work great with seriously dry skin if you use it religiously.

    Could actually be a fungal infection called ringworm. Google it and see if it looks like it. If it does, some over the counter anti-fungal cream (same as used for athlete's foot) will cure it.

    Eczema needs to be cured from the inside out, check your diet. It is probably a food allergy.
