What Causes Itching In The Ribs?

For the past couple of weeks my abdomen on both sides right at the bottom of my ribs have been itching. Recently I just changed laundry detergent, so I m thinking my skin just didn t like the new brand. However, today, I looked at my belly and there are round brown spots on both sides right where is itches. This is a bit weird.... Any explanations?

Hi,

It can be fungal skin infection due to tinea. Kindly upload the image so that I can check it. Topical anti-fungal agent can be beneficial in such condition. Keep that area clean and dry. You can Consult dermatologist for physical examination of lesion.

Hope I have answered your query.
