Dear All, We are seeing a lot of patients suffering from itching of skin and scales due to fungal infection of skin. More commonly seen in diabetic patients. The patient has a lot of itching from many days and red scaly round lesions on the skin. It is usually caused by fungus named tenia corporis. Many a times these are resistant to routine antifungals and lesions dont heal for months or recur immediately after treatment. Hence it is important to be treated correctly for this. For more details you can reach us on our clinic helpline 8657295284. Dr Hardik Thakker, MD MED, ECFMG ( USA).
