Could Itchy Red Spots On Arms And Thighs Be Due To Fungal Infection?

Hii, it seems i have a fungal infection. I have some brownish patches on my upper thighs and stomach and i have some red spots on my hand which itch very much. I just want to know how does i get relief from this. I used many antifungal tubes but nothing works.

Hi
Thanks for posting your query on HCM.
I am of the opinion that in view of no response to various antifungal creams, you are most likely to be suffering from scabies.
Apply benzyl benzoate lotion on your entire body from neck to to the hands and feet including the private parts.
Apply it again after 24 hrs.
However a dermatologist opinion is highly recommended for accurate assessment and treatment.
Rate the answer if you are convinced.
I find this answer helpful
