What Causes Itchy Patches And Pityrosporum Orbiculare 99% In Test?

Hi my son has very itchy patches all over his body he has had these for approx 6 months now and the doctor has been treating him for Psoriasis. However we have just got results back from an Intolenrance test and on his results Pityrosporum Orbiculare is 99% which is very high. Can this be the answer to our problem? He has a lot in his head, chest, knees, arms, back just about everywhere.

HELLO GREETING FROM HCM
I UNDERSTOOD YOUR PROBLEM PITYROSPORUM ORBICULARE IS SPECIES OF FUNGUS WHICH IS MAINLY RESPONSIBLE FOR DANDRUFF AND SEBORRHOEIC DERMATITIS.
THIS MAINLY EFFECT OIL GLANDS OF BODY, SO THE MOST EFFECTED PARTS WILL BE HEAD, UPPER BODY, NASAL AREA.
IN PSORIASIS PATCHES ARE PURPLE IN HUES.
IN MY PATIENT I USUALLY START WITH ANTI FUNGAL TREATMENT LIKE KETOCANOZOLE SHAMPOO FOR HEAD.
AVOID OILING IN HEAD.
