I have an extremely itchy rash that occurs in small patches. It comes
and goes. It usually lasts a few weeks and then disappears for a few months.
Over the years it has appeared in many different places on my body- front
thighs, upper arms, top of chest and now below my naval. I have been to several
doctors with little relief. Treating it as a fungal infection helps a little, but
does not eliminate it. I have tried changing detergents and wash clothes and
sheets in hot water. My spouse has experienced a similar rash twice. Any
suggestions are appreciated.
Dear Ross,
Have you been to a dermatologist? It could possibly be one of several dermatological conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, fungal infections, ect. Since your spouse has experienced the same rash the the doctor may want to do a scraping for a definite diagnosis.
Let me know when they finally diagnose the rash. Nurselady
