Can Ringworm Cause Rashes All Over The Body?
6 months ago, I had a rash with terrible itching all over my body. It started centrally (around the shoulders and on the hips, then spread to the feet and hands. It was worst in the left groin. It improved with Cosvate GM and Betamil GM, but some itching continued in the Left groin. It was out down to Dry Skin. Now there is a large Ringworm in the groin. And itching again all over the body. Can a Ringworm develop over 3-4 months? Can it cause a rash all over the body? Is it responsible for the itching earlier, and now also? Many thanks for some advice!
