How To Treat Fungus That Has Caused Itching Bumps On Arms And Legs?
My husband is waiting for an appointment with the local dermatologist. For the past month or so he has had these red, non itching bumps on his arms and legs. We went to urgent care and they said it was a fungus, but medicine hasnt worked, has actually gotten worse. Any ideas what this may be.
