Itchy Scaly Skin Patches Throughout Body

2022-10-12 02:40:08
For the past 2 months I have been suffering from dry itchy skin patches throughout my body - groin, back, chest, shoulders, buttocks. It is more itchy in the groin and buttocks area. I have taken medication but it keeps coming back. Also random occurrences of smally itchy bumps that leave a dark mark where ever popped.
