Marks due to scratching
Hi,
I live in a hot and dusty city when often i am forced to scratch my legs. Last 2 months I've been scratching the same place very often and it started giving out marks. I've consulted 2-3 doctors and its not reduced. Kindly assist me what can be done to reduce or fix this back to normal skin.
Please take a look at image.
Thanks.

Talk to experienced dermatologist online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
Scratching seems to be aggravating this, but does not appear to be the sole cause of these skin lesions.
It appears to be in a linear arrangement, the possibilities could be linear psoriasis or linear lichen planus.
You can consult dermatologist physically nearby for accurate diagnosis.
What medications have you used earlier in 2 months, which have not caused any improvement?
This would definitely reduce with treatment if taken appropriately and for defined time.

Avoid any form of rubbing , scratching, wearing socks for long hours or using too much soap on the rash while taking bath . Use a moisturiser twice /thrice a day all over legs to reduce the redness and itching.
