I'm experiencing this really frustrating full body itching that has turned into black marks. I saw a doctor, and they mentioned it might be because of dry skin. I've tried using lotion, ointments, and even tablets, but they only seem to help while I'm using them. As soon as I finish the course, the itching comes back. Can you help me understand what's going on or suggest something that might work better?

I've been dealing with a ringworm infection in my groin area for the past three months. It's been really itchy, and while using terbinafine cream and tablets seems to have helpedit's about 80% healed nowI'm still getting new ringworms in the same spot. The old ones are getting bigger, and my skin in that area has turned a light pink, lighter than the rest of my skin. Could this be tinea versicolor? And how long will it take to completely get rid of it?

Consult a dermatologist to reassess the persistent ringworm infection and skin discoloration, as it may not be tinea versicolor, and adjust treatment with oral antifungals or topical creams to achieve complete recovery, which may take 2-6 weeks.
