Stasis dermatitis
Stasis dermatitis (venous eczema) is common in older adults. It causes dry, itchy skin on the shins, ankles, and tops of the feet. Weak leg veins and swelling stretch the skin, leading to eczema. Treatment focuses on compression, leg elevation, moisturizing, and topical medications.
Tinea versicolor
Tinea versicolor is a common yeast rash that usually doesn’t itch but can change your skin’s color. It’s more common in hot, humid areas. Treatment often includes antifungal creams or dandruff shampoo.
