I asked a similar question before but new details. I orginally had a area below my elbow that when discovered looked like ring worm. It had rasied outline and flat center. Now is flaking. Inbetween then I also developed more spots. Only this rash started on my feet and hands, spread to my legs and arms. The bumps were small and red. Some of them were a bullseye designed. Now some of the spots are shrinking while others are expanding into larger spots whit red outlines and white centers. The doctors are unable to tell me what it is. I was wondering if anyone had any information on what it could be, etc. Thank you in advance.

sounds like a fungus... well not the bumps (possible but uncommon for fungus) but what you describe them turning into the spots with red outlines, that sounds like some type of skin fungus... there are other types than ringworm. but ringworm can spread.
the bullseye sounds like what you catch from ticks- lymes disease or other infectious conditions. hard to tell without seeing it.
could be an allergic or irritant reaction. do you have fleas biting you maybe, or mites? it could be anything. goto a dermatologist- not a regular doctor. someone who specializes in skin.

Post a picture so that we can see it. Is it kind of white and scaly? If so, it could be psoriasis. If it's spreading really fast then it could be the skin eating disease which can kill you within a few days. I'm glad that you're seeing a health care professional, hopefully they can find out what it is.
If you're really stressed or have an allergy, it could just be hives.

There are actually some systemic conditions that can lead to rashes all over the body.
If they haven't already, you should get some blood taken to rule these out.
What I am saying is that there is a small likelihood that it is something very serious rather than just some irritation or allergy.

That's ring worm!!! It's just spreading to other areas of your body. Ask for a Lamisil prescription! You'll have to have a blood test to make sure your liver is OK before they'll give it to you, but ASK FOR IT NOW.

Sounds like eczema. You need to see another doctor and get a steroid cream.
Good luck to you!
