It started with a fairly large dry red patch on my lower back, then on my arm, then on the skin opposite the arm (Which suggests it spread onto it from the contact) then I got about 10 more all over me - luckily only one on my face which doesn't show.
Anyway I went to the doctors, she said it was a fungal infection and was given some cream (Dactoten or something) and some "dandruff shampoo" which I have to put over my body twice a week. I'm supposed to use the cream 2 - 3 times daily but I have about 20 patches on me (Only a few are noticeable, the others are very small but get bigger every day) and it takes FOREVER to put it on. It doesn't seem to be helping anyway and everyday I find a new one...
They itch so much but only when I touch them and I really just want to get rid of them and stop getting more, I feel stupid going back to the doctors just about this and it seems I'll never get rid of this quickly spreading fungal infection. HELP!
