Skin Itch?
For a long time now I have been suffering from itchy skin that starts with me scratching then forms tiny blisters and eventually I scratch so much (normally in my sleep as I dont seem to feel it) and then I have huge raw patches which take forever to heal and scar terribly. What do you think causes this?
Also, I suffer from Tineaversicolar - what do you recommend for this, I am presently using lamisil - does that clear it up completely ever?

Mandi, it is difficult to say what the problem is without seeing you, but it sounds like it might be a form of contact dermatitis or eczema. The best would be to see a dermatologist and have it sorted out.
The Lamisil® should work for the tinea – it the cream/spray doesn’t work, you can always try the tablets. Good luck.
