I've been dealing with this really annoying itching all over my body for the past week. I'm not sure what's causing it and it's really starting to bother me. Any idea what might be going on or what I should do about it?

You may be experiencing a condition called urticaria, also known as hives. To help relieve the itching, you can take cetirizine (brand name Zyrtec) 10mg once daily. Additionally, you can apply calamine lotion to the affected areas for soothing relief. If the itching persists or worsens, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm really struggling with ringworm on my stomach, both thighs, and face. I've tried so many medicines like Hydil, Allegra, Terbinaforce cream, and Nuforce GM cream, but nothing seems to be working. I'm feeling kinda lost and worried. Do you have any advice or ideas on what I could try next?

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