Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am having winter rashes, the picture of which I have attached. Can you help me with what I have to do?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

From the picture (attachment removed to protect patient's identity), it is clear that you are having whitish itchy skin lesions, which may result from fungal or yeast infection or allergies.

I would suggest:

  1. Oral administration of Antihistamines to treat your itchiness.
  2. Antifungal cream like Clotrimazole and mild Corticosteroid cream like Hydrocortisone can be applied to your affected area twice daily.

Hopefully, these medications will treat your rashes. In case of any other query, ask me.
