What's The Cause And Cure For Itchy Rashes From Waist To The Knees?
Hi,
My partner has all of these rashes covering from the waist down to his knees. He's quite embarrassed about this and were not sure what is causing the itchiness, when he scratches it becomes very flakey and red, mind you he is a very large boy, 140kgs and 6ft 4inches
He sometimes believes its the heat because its really bad in the summer but they still remain there all the time.
I suggested it could be eczema but hes very doubtful
Do you have an idea of what this could be and how to treat it?

Hi,Welcome to Health care magic forum.
It appears that he might be having allergy to some thing,like food, clothes, woolen,cosmetics, or soap, etc. the other causes may be the fungal infection.
I advise you to consult a dermatologist for diagnosis and treatment.
I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms levocitrizine, montelekast,grisofulvin, and mixed steroid ointment.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
