Infection on skin
I have red pimples like thing on my stomach and back and it's spreading.. it itches a lot and I think it's because of some insect bite.. it's been a week , first I thought it's because of climate but I doubt it might be infection caused by poison due to insect bite.

You may be suffering from tinea which is fungal infection. It can be treated by taking four to six weeks of anti fungal treatment which includes tablets along with creams. Do not use soap over that area. Mistreatment with over the counter Steroid containing creams like fourderm, panderm, quadriderm, hh zole, candid b etc lead to repeated case of recurrence and also side effects due to application. Do not use steroid containing combination creams. Please call me or contact me using online consult option with photos for detailed prescription. Do not delay treatment as it may spread further on your body and also to other people living in the household.,
