Itching on both hands and back complete

2021-09-28 18:29:22
I'm 40 year's old lady. Recently I started getting itching on my back and both arms. Took bath in hot water with neem leaves. Applied vaseline cream, tried nycil powder etc.but still my itching not gone completely. I get a slight relief when the above 2 methods are tried out. Please advice whether it is because of fungus or bacteria. Please advice on any cream or soap.
