Have Red Itchy Rashes On Lower Extremities, Arms And Back. Any Suggestion?

Hello,
Thanks for your query.
In case of ringworm or Tinea Corporis, the lesion is usually a round to oval ring, with a central clearing and some scales as it grows. It might be single and multiple.
Treatment consists of application of a topical antifungal cream twice daily for 2-3 weeks. In certain cases, an oral anti fungal may be required.
There are other possible diagnoses in case of a similar annular shaped lesion as well.
You can upload a picture of his lesions here (in good resolution) in order to help me to guide you better. You can send them to
