Skin rashes or allergy

2016-03-06 07:40:59
I got some mosquito bite kind of thing and on a doctor's advice, i applied lacto-calamine. Now, my skin gets white and looks like rashes. I Couldn't understand whether it's due to dry skinor any other problem. I have attached the photo of the affected skin. Can anyone please tell me what to be done?

Hi. Greetings. This is just not dryness or random rash. Would need more pictures or would need to examine you to make a certain diagnosis but possibilities include lichen planus, pityriasis rosea, guttate psoriasis or fungal infection or eczema. Please see your dermatologist again for further treatment. Don't ignore.
