Blotches On Middle Of Upper Back, Spreading, Wrinkles In Skin, Itching. Cure For Symptoms?
Hi, I have recently gotten these red blotches in the middle of my upper back and have spread to my chest area. It had been about a week or two. Now I am noticing them in my pubic area. Only around the front. On the spots on my back, I noticed (in the light glare) that the skin seems to be wrinkled. Also they only itch for about a second when I first notice them, and usually don't itch after that. They seem to have a.goldish, or lighter center, but do not.resemble ringworm

You can apply moisturizer over full skin.
Apply hydrocortisone and clotrimazole cream over patch.
For itching you can take antihistaminic medicine.

It is gradually increase in number mean it is infectious one.
It is better to consult dermatologist for proper treatment plan.
