Skin peeling

Dear Patient: Hi, The skin is host to numerous type of fungi and if the conditions are right like warmth and moisture the fungi will multiply rapidly and it causes intense itching and burning. This condition is most common in men and adolescent boys. I would suggest you to keep your skin clean and dry. Wearing loose fitting clothing may help by reducing friction and moisture buildup. And you can also use an antifungal ointment or spray. If your symptoms persist for more than 2 weeks then you go see a dermatologist.
