Itchy Rash, Scaly, Spreading In Nature. Applying Ointment. Should I Take Oral Medication?
Hi, thanks for your query. As per your information you are suffering from itchy and scaly rash since one year and you are not relieved of the problem by steroid ointment. You seem to have a fungal infection for which you may require oral anti fungal medications and local anti fungal creams. I advise to get it examined by a dermatologist for exact diagnosis and treatment rather than self medication. Hope this helps you.
