Hi I have a nickel sized red itchy spot on my shin and I m afraid of what it might be, it seems to have gotten smaller and itches tremendously, I recently had a flaky and itchy condition like this on my face as well until I changed products, can you give me any insight?
HI, Dear,Welcome to Chat Doctor. Based on the facts and data of your query, You seem to have Contact Dermatitis on the Shin, from the cosmetic product used on the face. Severe itch on the shin indicates the accompanied Varicose Vein dermatitis from the leaked blood from the capillary of the incompetent-vein perforators of the short saphenous vein. Remedy-1-Check out with Surgeon for the Shin Lump, if it is not due to the Varicose Vein dermatitis. If it is, treatment of the Varicose Veins would resolve it. Or2- it could be from the cosmetic product by accidental contact, and hence a change of cosmetic product with steroids orally / steroid cream locally would resolve the itchy lump on the face and on the shin. Hope this reply would help you to resolve your sever anxiety. Welcome for any further query in this regard Will appreciate writing your feedback review comments, to help the needy patients like you at Chat Doctor. Good Day!! Chat Doctor. S. Genl-CVTS
