I’ve been fighting these red little flaky spots all over my body for a couple months now. the doctor tells me its fungal, and i believe him, except i dont think its ringworm because its not in a ring. just red spots that grow and flake. it first showed up as one localized spot a year ago, but after going to the doctor, i got medicine, and it went away, now, a summer later, its back but with fury. its ALL over my body… my doctor gave me medicine to apply to EACH spot until they disappeared, but since its all over my body it was not only impractical, but impossible to find every spot and medicate it twice a day… so i gave up on the cream and now its spreading like wild fire. i just ordered some tea tree oil and soap that i can blindly apply everywhere… will that work since i cant very well go on a scavenger hunt everyday for these spots? Help me, i’m being taken over by this infection! About the cream, sorry to sound misleading, its definitely fungal because the cream IS effective in making the individual spots go away, both this summer and last, but it isnt effective at getting rid of the infection as a whole. because there are so many spots, if i miss even one, the infection will continue to spread. Plus, they’re not all that itchy, in fact they dont bother me other than that theyre growing everywhere and its freaking me out. So that makes me think its neither eczema or psoriasis. thank you though!

My guinea pig has a patch of what looks like dry skin on her right ear. I haven’t really noticed her scratching at it, but it never seems to get better. Anyone have any ideas of what this could be? My husband tried putting a small amount of hand creme on it to see if it would help and it just looked really red and sore the next day so we won’t try that again. I’ve looked up some information online and saw that they can get mites and fungal infections, but what Piglet has looks nothing like the pictures of those - as it doesn’t seem to be that pronounced yet. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

hi all,

ive been to the doctors loads of times and they keep giving me the same medicine even though it doesnt have any affect.

please can someone help and tell me what to use to make it go away. thanks in advance

I just bought a Betta two days ago. I noticed he was really shy and didn’t eat. I looked at him today and he’s covered in white cottony blotches. I have him in a big bowl of water temporarily. He is separated from all the other fish.

First, what should I do now?
Will my other fish get the same infection? (Danios and Gourami)

Thank You.

I had fungal infection once, but it’s over since long now…however black marks still remain..how do i get rid of them faster? thanks in advance..

So these red dots keep appearing on my ankles and legs. They keep spreading and they itch terribly!! Yesterday the doctor told me it’s a fungal infection and gave me antibiotic cream to put on them. It works a bit, but I’m curious why are they still spreading? And has anyone else ever had this before? It’s really scaring me! So if you can tell me what happens.

Boil, Dandruff, Eczema, Ringworm, or Shingles
