Red Bumps In Circle All Over Arms. Treated For Ring Worms. Bumps Spreading. Eczema?

There are red bumps in the form of a circle all over my arms.. Went to the doctor and they said it was ringworm, and they gave me treatment. Now the same bumps are spreading everywhere over my body, but my doctor is saying its eczema. But they look identical to the ringworm on my arm.. I need help. And it's really itching

Hi,
It seems that you might be having tinea versicular infection,ringworm.
Along with local use of antifungal cream or lotion go for systemic oral anti-fungal tablet like Flucanozole 150 mg once in a week for 4 weeks, if not taken.
This will give you cure of your infection.
Ok and take care.
