What can I do for allergic skin conditions on my legs?
Asked by Female, 35 · 2 months ago
If you have an allergic skin condition on your legs, try to identify and avoid the trigger (as in contact dermatitis). To relieve symptoms, apply an over-the-counter corticosteroid cream (such as hydrocortisone) and take an oral antihistamine (such as cetirizine) to reduce inflammation and itching. Avoid known irritants such as harsh soaps, detergents, certain fabrics, or creams. If the condition is severe, persistent, or widespread, consult a dermatologist for proper evaluation and treatment.
