Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have red itchy spots on chest, stomach, shoulder and a few on shins and itchy arms. I am being treated by my GP for a fungal infection. However, after two months of treatment it does not seem to be clearing and indeed the itching is worse. I have a further appointment with her next week but I feel I would like one of your consultants to take a look.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
There can be many reasons for itchy red spots. I have viewed the files (attachment removed to protect patient identity). This does not seem like a fungal infection. This seems to be like an allergy to something which can be soap, plants, insect bite, etc. You are applying a mild steroid cream. If the potency of steroid cream is increased you might feel relief. Spray insect repellant medicine at home.
