small spots, so in one area there's several spot, I'm not sure why they are spreading, I have been using e45, and some oil, but the infected area is still the same, spots appeared first on my fingers, then itching came, my leg itches, stomach etc
No theirs history for this disease, I've been taking allergic tablets which I bought from a pharmacy, I always use e45, but there's been no improvement,
I'm not sure how to add a pic

Brief Answer:
Likely to be allergic response, action needed
Detailed Answer:
Hello Dear
I have seen the pics that you have successfully uploaded and also gone through the details.
My view is that this most likely could be caused by an allergy.
To my patients with similar complaints, I recommend the following with successful outcomes:
1 Wash the affected areas frequently only with plain water and then let the skin dry
2 Use Betamethasone containing creams twice a day
3 Antiallergics like LEVOCETIRIZINE 5 mg a day or a comparable alternative depending upon where you live and availability of products.
4 Avoid any medication that you might be taking until you have talked to your treating doctor about the problem.
5 Protect your affected areas from soaps, harsh chemicals, and rough garments.
By following this routine, it is highly likely to experience improvement in a few days.
Let us know if there are any further concerns.
Best wishes from us, always!
