Skin Fungal Infection
Fungal infection on all over my body including head. It starts with a small red dot and keeps growing. It's red in color and itchy. I have it all over on by body. I first had this issue 3 months back and now it's all over. It looks like ringworm but it is not ringworm that I am kind of sure. My 80 % of back and hips are covered with it however it is all over.
