Patches Of Bumps That Disappear With Anti-fungal Creams, Big Bumps Look Like Ring Worms, Small Stay Longer. What Could This Be?
Hi i get patches of bumps that disappear after applying untifungal within 4-5 hours. Sometimes a patch is localized to 5 inch square and the bumps are small 1cm. sometimes they are spread between shoulder and elbow , under arm , and the bumps can be as mush as an inch wide. Some of the bumps are not in a patch and stand separate like mosquito bites. The big bumps will look like ringworm but will disappear after 4-5 hours after initial application of the untifungal cream. Small might stay longer and they look like mosquito bytes. Some of the small ones in a patch might grow and become half an inch. What could it be?

Hello.You are getting hives(wheals in technical terms)which is part of an allergic reaction(called urticaria).consult a dermatologist,we will need to find the cause, antifungal creams are useless,since these hives go off on their own,even without treatment.
