Psychiatrist Dr. Anjana Rao Kavoor's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

You might be having an allergic reaction to house dust or a fungal infection. I suggest you consult a dermatologist and get yourself examined to know the exact nature of lesions. If fungal infection, taking antifungals will treat. If it is house dust allergy, keeping your surrounding clean will decrease the itching and rashes.

Hope this helps
