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.

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.
