I have a skin problem which looks like allergie, once or twice in a day there are multiple rashes comes up on my face, shoulder, skin on the head. they itch and the skin at that time feels very hot. I have consulted a skin doctor, who said it is fungal infection and have given me a lot of medicines along with a special shampoo. Please let me know is it a skin disease or an internal alllergie?

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

The history and symptoms suggests me that you are having some infection related to skin it may be of fungal origin or allergic origin.

You requires physical examination to make proper diagnosis and treatment. With the history it looks like it is an allergic reaction which comes on face and the neck with the feeling of the hotness.

I would suggest you to consult your dermatologist for physical examination and to make a proper diagnosis to get adequate treatment.For your symptoms i may advise to take antihistamines and to apply dermadew ointment over the lesions.
Thank you.
