My skin problem

I have a skin disease that has tormented me since I was a toddler. Back then it used to come like boils with fluids inside which made me uncomfortable with severe itching. I have taken all sorts of medications all these years but the problem has proved to be stubborn.

Most times I experience itching in my testicles especially when drying my body after bathing. Also each time I am jogging I feel something moving all over my body which itches me badly but stops after a while once I stop jogging.  All over my hands and legs are filled with pimple-like spots that itch me a lot .Please Doctor I need your advice on how to tackle this problem as the skin problem is killing me slowly.

It looks like you have two issues here. First, the skin problem and secondly is the psychological feeling of something moving all over your body. Since you have taken many medications without a cure, it will be a good thing to see a medical doctor who is an expert on skin diseases (a Dermatologist) at the nearest Teaching or Specialist Hospital to you. Apart from some samples of the fluids in your boils, the doctor may also want to test your blood and take some skin snips for Laboratory analysis before arriving at a conclusion and expert treatment.
