I develop small small red patches on the skin of my legs and thighs, if i stand for a long time or work for a long time and it usually worsens at the end of the day. This condition is there after i had chikungunya two years back. it used to occur rarely before but nowadays it is occuring almost everyday. I am also breastfeeding , so i am just reluctant to take any medicines. please suggest.
Hello, I think the question is very nonspecific and requires more questioning to reach to a conclusion, but on Upping which I have picked up that its obvious while you work or stand for a long time directs me towards Gravitational Eczema. I would have also asked you about any swelling in the legs or any Curiosities. If you have such type of problem then you have to take certain measures along with some treatment. I would advise you not to stand for a long time, take regular walks and elevate your legs on a chair if sitting. Keep the legs well moisturized with white petroleum jelly or Vaseline. You can also apply potent to moderate topical steroids to relieve the situation. But what would be best is to see a dermatologist to have look and to proceed further as I cannot comment more without seeing it in a picture and with a brief history. Thanks very much and all the best.
