Rash That Keeps On Spreading. What Could The Cause Be?

Uh, well I dunno what anything looks like. But my girlfriend has this sorta rash thing. And it keeps spreading (not at an alarming rate) but, it started about a week ago. Today/yesterday it spread to her stomach . Yet, it was already on her arms, legs, and back. It keeps getting worse, and she s going to the hospital tomorrow. I just wanted to know what it COULD be.

Hi,

Welcome to Healthcaremagic.

Based on the description of the rash I suspect it to be due to fungal infection.Do consult a dermatologist who shall examined and confirm the diagnosis.

Meanwhile do apply a Ketaconazole dusting powder which can hold the infection from spreading.

Wish you good health.
