Red Itchy Rash On Hand, No Blisters, Spread To Toe, Genitals. Prescribed Cream For Fungus. What Caused This Rash And How Is It Treated?
My husband recently noticed a red patchy/itchy rash on his hand . It does not have blisters and is not elevated. Just a red patch of itchiness. It recently moved to his big toe and genital area. Any idea what it may be. He went to our family physician and she stated it was a fungas. What kind we do not know. She gave him a cream to put on the affected areas..... We would just like to know how long it will take for him to stop itching, what it is, and how he got it. Thanks

Hi red patches on the hand followed by lesions on the genitals or grion can be fungal infection called tinea corporis .it can be cured by atarax 25 mg at night.terbinafine 250 mg for fourteen days and application of terbinafine ointment over the lesions can cure the condition.it should be ruled out by irritant contact dermatitis
