Suggest Remedy For Itchy Small Circular Patches On Skin
I started to see small circular patches (total of 3) on the surface of my skin. It rarely itches, but when using anti fungal the circle gets bigger. I used Oregano oil mixtures and it looks like it s starting to dry up and go away. I wanted to know if that sounds familiar to you.

Hello and welcome to HCM,
Itchy circular patches not responding to anti-fungal drugs rule out the possibility of fungal infection.
The lesions are due to primary skin disease.
circular itchy patches are suggestive to numular dermatitis, a form of dermatitis.
However, clinical assessment and relevant investigations are required to diagnose the condition.
I suggest you to consult a dermatologist (skin specialist) for clinical assessment and thus management.
Treatment can be decided after clinical assessment.
Thanks and take care
