Question

I'm dealing with this dry and rough skin issue on my back, right around my spine. The rough patches are starting to spread out over more of my back, and it gets really itchy if I don't apply any skin cream like Fourderm. What's going on, and should I be worried about it spreading further?

That could be fungal infection which needs both oral and topical antifungal medications and personal hygiene is more important for such condition.
