Hi Doctor, I am Male 31, Last night when I was sleeping it starting itching, especially on both sides of lower back. No pain but when I checked with mirror, there are too many red spots. Is this fungal infection or sort of allergy? Never happened this before! Could you suggest any cream or ointment?

May be red or black in colour. Treatment depending on the type and severity. Avoid sharing clothes, towels and soap; sweating also increases it.
