What Do Itchy Spots On The Skin Indicate?

I have some spots on my skin. That look like sores or burns almost but they just came about from itching one little dry patch. I ve been to multiple doctors and they can t figure out what it is. It sometimes oozes yellow substance but will eventually form a crust of yellow orangish over the top. It has spread to about 6 different spots on my torso arms and legs. It is not contagious because I ve been in contact with people and it hasn t spread. It hasn t been cured by any antibiotics or cortisone anti fungal or anti bacterial creams.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of itchy spots on the skin. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like soft tissue injury , allergic reaction , nerve injury or compression, local infection or injury and it could be due to fungal infection due to poor hygiene. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to consult dermatologist for proper diagnosis. Doctor may prescribe anti inflammatory along with nerve supplement or antifungal medicine . Prevent your skin from UV radiations of sun and apply light sunscreen. You should apply cold compresses on it and apply antifungal medication after proper prescription.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
