Problem description: The patient is 60 years old this year. Three years ago, he developed unexplained skin diseases on his underarms, and also on the inner thighs. The recurrences occurred. Usually, he used yellow skin ointment for the treatment of skin diseases, usually for 15 days. It got better from left to right, and it happened again every ten days. I have seen it in the local dermatology hospital, but there is no effect.

Question analysis: Are there any pictures? There are no more than two reasons for this situation. One is allergic disease, which is more common in eczema. One is infectious diseases, which are more common in fungal infections. The two diseases can also overlap, causing difficulties in diagnosis and treatment.
Guiding suggestions: According to the description and the location of the disease, allergic factors are considered as the main reason, and the possibility of fungal infection cannot be ruled out. However, when the effect of external medication is not good, oral medication should be combined. For example, oral loratadine topical parvisone ointment. You also need to pay more attention to your diet, and you must avoid drinking alcohol. Spicy irritation should also be avoided. Ensure enough sleep. It should not be difficult to treat. This disease focuses on prevention.
