Today she presents with worsening symptoms of skin lesions with itch for the past 2 months, now affecting the antecubital fossa of both arms, stating, “I get like this every winter but I am much better during warm weather. “  She is otherwise healthy.

B. Twice-daily application of an antifungal cream.

C. Use of a topical antibiotic until skin lesions are clear.

D. Maintaining skin lubrication.
