A member asked:

I have itchy skin all over. no sign of rash, but my mom has ringworm. could my itchy skin be due to that or another issue? never had this issue before

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Itching: This could be due to allergy. have you changed anything in your daily routine? Like your soap, shampoo, laundry detergent & so on? Or have you eaten something new? Try to reduce salt in your diet, you may try benadryl (diphenhydramine) or zyrtic. Also dry skin can be itchy, use moisturizing soap like dove . If no improvement .see your doctor .good luck. Ring worm should not cause generalized itching.
