It's hot, and I have a big red and itchy thigh. What is this?

I feel that your symptoms are like "itchy skin".

Skin pruritus refers to a kind of skin disease that itches consciously without primary skin lesions, which is called "itching wind" and "wind itching" in Chinese medicine.

The causes of skin itching are wind, humidity, heat, insect invasion or mental stress, emotional excitement, warm clothes and quilts, mechanical stimulation, eating spicy food, fish, shrimp, wine, coffee, strong tea and manganese-containing food, which leads to itching all over the body. Itching is both systemic and local.

Folk application of expelling wind and clearing heat, nourishing blood and moistening skin, removing dampness and killing insects has obvious curative effect on this disease.
