Health Queries
I have red, itchy, ring-like rashes on my skin. What could be causing this, and how can I treat it?
Vikas Singh
M Pharmacy
Red, itchy, ring-like rashes are most often due to a fungal infection, where the rash spreads in a circular pattern because of fungal growth on the skin. This usually happens with sweat, moisture, or sharing clothes or towels. Keep the area clean and dry, wear loose cotton clothes, and avoid scratching or using random creams. A doctor may advise an antifungal treatment to clear it properly, so talk to your doctor if it is spreading or not improving.
In summer, I get itchy white patches on my shoulders, but they do not appear in winter. What could be the reason, and how can I treat it?
Vikas Singh
M Pharmacy
White, itchy patches that appear in summer but not in winter are often due to a fungal infection that thrives in heat and sweat. Moisture on the skin allows the fungus to spread, which is why it improves in cooler months. Keep the area clean and dry, wear loose cotton clothes, and avoid excess sweating as much as possible. A doctor may advise an antifungal treatment to clear it, so consult your doctor for proper care if it keeps coming back.
I have a fungal infection on different parts of my body, and the current treatment is not helping. What should I do?
Vikas Singh
M Pharmacy
A fungal infection on multiple body parts that is not improving may be due to incomplete treatment, resistance, or repeated moisture and sweating. Keep all affected areas clean and completely dry, wear loose cotton clothes, and avoid sharing towels or clothing. Do not stop treatment early, even if it seems to be improving, as this can lead to a recurrence. As it is not responding to current treatment, consult your doctor so the diagnosis can be confirmed and stronger or longer treatment can be planned.
