Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of itchy red rings in skin seems to be due to dermatitis. It could be due to increased skin sensitivity. I would suggest you to start taking anti allergic medications such as Allegra. You should apply a steroid ointment like cortisone over the rash area for relieving inflammation and itching. Application of calamine lotion will be effective to soothe the skin. If symptoms still keeps on persisting you should visit dermatologist once and get it examined. You should go for patch test and blood tests and start treatment after proper prescription.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
