Question: since 3 days I am facing skin problem. itching on body with prickling feeling. Kindly help
Brief Answer:
Could be due to a fungal infection with an allergic component
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone through your query. Unfortunately the details are not enough. It would really help if you could upload an image of the affected area. However, based on assumption, I can perhaps comment that it could be due to an allergic reaction and taking some antiallergic like cetirizine once daily for a few days should be helpful. Another possibility to consider is a fungal infection. If that is the case, in addition to cetirizine, application of candid (clotrimazole) would help.
