What Causes Itchy Rashes On The Body?

Hi. I have been itching and breaking out in these spots. They re dark colored, like if I got burned by splashes of hot grease. I went to the E.R. and they said it was ringworm and gave me antifungal creams but the spots keep showing up! And they itch!! I ve changed my bedding and was my sheets regularly. Idk if it s dry skin or what but they are on my arms, side, hips and buttocks and I m embarrassed to be sexually active bc of these itchy spots. I ve spent over $50 in over the counter meds. HELP ME PLEASE

As ER team has diagnosed ring worm, you must complete the course they have prescribed.
Ring worms sometimes take long to go off completely, if you dont find complete relief than you should consult Dermatologist who will prescribe you appropriate antifungal cream and tablets.
Please dont experiment with OTC meds, just seek Dermatologist guidance.
