Patient's question:
Every time it's winter, the skin on my hands gets very itchy. I can't help but scratch it, and when I scratch it, it gets broken and hurts a lot. I bought some medicine to apply, but it often flares up. The doctor said this is a fungal infection, so I want to ask, how can I treat tinea corporis?Doctor's answer:
The skin on my hands is extremely itchy. Most likely, this could be due to tinea manuum, which is caused by a local fungal infection. This possibility is often associated with frequent contact with dirty things, making it easy to experience symptoms like itching or scaling again. For treatment, topical antifungal medications can be used. Please follow the doctor's advice regarding specific medication usage. During this period, pay attention to keeping the affected area clean and avoid scratching with your hands.
