What Are The Reasons For Red Spots On Torso And Itching Throughout The Body?
I have a red spot (about 1/2 inch in diameter) on the right side of my torso. It is a single spot and it dry and itchy. It has been about two weeks and it hasn t healed and I m not sure if I should buy a type of over the counter cream or make an appt to see my doctor. I ve been feeling itchy all over my body but there are no other spots or indications of lesions.
