Detailed Answer:
Hi my dear,
I have gone through your query and understood your concerns. I feel sorry for the fastidious situation you are in.
If I was your caring doctor would evaluate as following:
- stool examination for ova/parasites (usually, intestinal parasites are giving such fastidious symptoms)
- microscopical examination of skin scrapping with 10%KOH to exclude fungal infection
- the weather conditions at the place you live : humidity/high temperatures that might cause increased sweating and subsequently such problems.
- allergy tests to rule out possible allergic problems (skin allergic testing, complete blood profile and eosinophils level)
Depending on the tests results, specific treatment will be prescribed!
