I have patches and itching on my thighs?

Hello ma'am,

Scratching can cause this kind of appearance on the skin. What usually works is applying a fragrance-free moisturizer like Aveeno whenever the urge to scratch arises. I also suggest using a fragrance-free soap like Dove. After the bath or shower, lightly pat the skin to leave a thin layer of moisture and apply the moisturizer within 5 minutes of getting out of the shower instead of scrubbing too vigorously.

I invite you to try this for a week. If it gets worse or doesn't get better, you should consult me as a precaution.

I am available if you have any further questions!
