What Could Be The Reason For Itching On The Butt Cheek That Has Spread To All The Other Parts?
It all started on one side of my but cheek. A constant itch that never seem to stop. I would scratch till it burns. This is been going on for about three months now, I went to my doctor and he prescribe Zyrtec. The situation is now worse. now I'm itching all over, especially from my head, face and neck. I AM VERY WORRIED NOW

Hi
It can be tinea corporis fungal infection.In this case you can have round patches with itching.It can be cleared by miconazole or clotrimazole ointment and fluconazole tablets weekly for 4 weeks.But you have to rule out a psoriasis also which gives silvery appearance on leisons.So it is better to consult a dermatologist.Hope this may help you.
thanks
