Suggest Treatment For Itchiness All Over The Body

I have had itchy skin all over my body since last year but now the problem is I have now started having itchy rash, which later develops into a ringworm...it would eventually heal by itself or after applying some prescribed ointments....they would then leave some black spots everywhere in my body where they have developed.

Hello,
Thanks for the query,
You might have developed fungal infection.
Your description matches with that.
Usually fungal infections are itchy and recurrent.
Treatment can be with oral antifungals as well as with topical antifungals.
Treatment must be continued for at least a month to prevent recurrance.
Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
