Skin white itchy patch

2021-06-01 18:06:59
Hi Doctors, My husband has a very very itchy skin, but few days back there was a tiny patch on his leg, which kept on growing. Now the patch is on both the legs near the ankle. He has been using borolien from a day on it. I have attached a picture for reference, please could you tell me, is it anything serious or should he cover it. What can be done? And is having a very very itchy body all the time normal? Please Advice
