What Causes Itchy Red Spots On The Body?

I have red spots with white halo around them that come and go. Usually comes mid day and later on the evening. They itch profusely and nothing seems to help the itch. Dr didn t know what it was. Another dr said it could be something to do with my veins. Is there anything I can do to help this go away?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,

The symptoms seem to be related to a fungal infection. A photo or a physical examination is needed to confirm the diagnosis. If the diagnosis is confirmed I recommend using antifungal medication such as Fluconazole daily. I also recommend using antifungal cream such as Miconazole cream for local application.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi,
