Itching All Over

I started getting raised rashes on my breast like 3 weeks ago. It almost looks like ringworm but it didn'y stay red. They began to spread to my stomach, leg, buttocks arms. They are small dime to quarter size. Now I am itching all over, even where there is no rash.

Hello,

I cannot confirm anything without examination but it can be tinea corporis(fungal infection).

Most cases of fungal infections respond to over-the-counter products, which contain any of several basic ingredients: miconazole, tolnaftate, terbinafine,ketaconazole and clotrimazole.You can consult a pharmacist and get any cream or lotion containing these ingredients. Some of them are Lamisil, Monistat derm, Mycelex, and Nizoral.

If the symptoms persist,then it would be best to get it confirmed from a dermatologist
Other possibilities are xerotic eczema,senile pruritis,atopic dermatitis,contact dermatitis,parasitic infestations,diabetes and liver or kidney pathologies.

Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional doubts.Kind regards.
