Hi Anniemay79,

Thank you for posting on the forum. Are you able to share a photo of the spots which will help our members possibly identify what they could be?

Kind regards

For some reason, your condition sounds like ringworm. Do you work with animals or have had any contact with farm animals?

Of course, I could be completely wrong but I think you've got something very nasty. If you haven't been in contact with animals, is there any bath product you've started using? If you've started using a product, stop using it straight away. As for your sores: I'd use aqueous cream on them. Or even E45 cream. A medicated cream will help ease the itchiness. Talk to your pharmacist and ask he/she for their recommendation. A mild emollient should soothe the sores on your legs.

Follow this advice and see how your skin improves. I do hope I've helped.
