How Can severe Itchiness In The Neck And Arm Be Treated?

I am experiencing quite a few new skin tabs around my neck & underarm area. They are causing quite a bit of itching along my arms, neck, underarms, back and under my breast area. The itching has been occurring for about 6 weeks. A dermatologist PA removed a noncancerous lichenoid keratosis from my arm in early March. I have to wait another 6 weeks to get back in to see what is going on with these skin tabs. Would you have any idea what is causing this explosion of skin tabs to be growing?

Hi,

I understand your concern and would explain that these tabs could be a fungal infection.

For this reason, I would recommend consulting with your dermatologist as soon as possible for a physical exam.

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