I'm really confused about what's happening with my skin lately. I had a fungal infection around my waist and was taking Zyrtec tablets along with using several creams. The infection cleared up, but now every time I stop taking the Zyrtec, I start itching all over my body. When I take it again, the itching stops. Why does this keep happening?

I've been dealing with these severe skin allergies that lead to unbearable itching. A few years ago, I had a tricort 40 injection, and it really helped. The itching is getting intolerable again, and I'm thinking about getting another tricort injection. Do you think that's a good idea? I genuinely need some advice on this. Please let me know your thoughts.

I've been dealing with these ringworms for a year now, and they're on both sides of my butt. It's really frustrating because nothing seems to help. The itching just won't stop, but normally I try not to scratch and use a dryer to calm it a bit. What else can I do to finally get some relief?

That could be Fungal infection, maintain personal hygiene and visit Dermatologist for evaluation and appropriate treatment.
