    Not sure why this skin infection should stop you from going to work as it is not contageous, it only affects your skin and not others. Shower with NIZ shampoo daily and use Candizole cream, that should keep the itch at bay. Wear cotton fabrics so as not to perspire too much as this makes it worse. What has happened is that the mantle on your skin has been disrupted and the bacteria that everyone has on their skin is now out of balance.

    ?Hope this helps. Msmile

      Hi Fred, people will ask questions as on pale skin it shows as dark patches and on darker skin it shows as white patches. It is not contageous so people should not be afraid to be in contact with you. It is painful and at times feels like things are biting you, but there is nothing there. Try not to scratch.
