Painful, Red Itchy Spots With White Rings. Taken Itch Creams, Allergy Medicine. No Relief. Treatment?

Hello. My 15 year old daughter has a rash that is everywhere except for her face and in some spots like her legs the red itchy spots have white rings around them. We have tried every itch cream out there as well as allergy medicine but nothing has worked. I took her to the doctor yesterday and he wasn t sure what it was and prescribed a steroid cream. The pharmacy won t have it in for 2 days and she is in so much pain..I don t know what to do to help her. We tried oatmeal baths and ice packs. Do you have any suggestions or know what this could be?? This isn t the first time she s had it but I hope that it s her last.

hello,
Your daughter has extensive dermatophytoses as your clinical description suggests.Let me put her on T.Zimig 250mg twice daily for 2 weeks and T.Xyzal by night and topical Zimig cream and Novale soap for bathing.As she has got secondary infection sha can take C.Droxyl250mg twice daily along with paimkillers for 5 days.She will become alright with this.

Hi,
Thanks for posting query.
You have probably fungal infection.
Please use any ointment containing antifungal and use oral cetirizine in night. Please do blood sugars checkup.
Consult dermatologist for further opinion.
Wish you a speedy recovery
Best Wishes,
Dr Sourav Ganguly.
