Suggest Remedy For Itchy Welts On The Forearm, Thighs And Jaw Bone
I keep getting these welts on my forearms. They itch and then turn to bruises. They look like mosquito bites but they definitely are not that. They also are on the back of my thighs and on my jaw bones. They come and go over the past month or so.

Hi.
As per your case history you are having fungal infection called as tinea corporis.
My treatment advice is -
1. Maintain good hygiene and bath twice daily.
2. Apply an antifungal cream like clotrimazole cream twice daily on affected skin.
3. Take an antihistamine medication like levocetrizine for itching.
4. Other treatment options are oral fluconazole, itraconazole and terbinafine taken only after consulting a dermatologist.
Thanks.
