Get medical advice, it could be a couple of things, both which need precription treatment. The most likely is ringworm, a fungal infection

Many possibilities best bet is to go to an emergency room where they will give you fifty mgs of prednisone or hydroxizine in a shot which should push the insult out of your system. I have something similar called Bullious Phemphigoid and have had it for 23 months so I know about the treatments for such conditions, however email me if you want to know more.

It may be rosea, but rosea doesn't usually spread to your face. It usually stays in the trunk of the body, any area not usually exposed to sunlight. Dry spots that sometimes resemble the ring worm or eczema. Some doctors don't know much about it though, so it may take a while to be diagnosed

One type of Atopic Dermatitis -Nummular eczema.- presents as coin-shaped spots of irritation on the skin. The spots can be crusted, scaling, and very itchy.
In Pityriasis Versicolor The rash usually starts as small pale patches. At first these usually appear on the chest, neck, or upper arms. The rash sometimes spreads to the abdomen, thighs, and back. More patches may appear, and patches next to each other may join together. The affected skin may become slightly scaly.
Vitiligo is a pigmentation disorder in which melanocytes (the cells that make pigment) in the skin, the mucous membranes (tissues that line the inside of the mouth and nose and genital and rectal areas), and the retina (inner layer of the eyeball) are destroyed. As a result, white patches of skin appear on different parts of the body. Commonly on extensor aspects of extremities, on the face or neck, and in skin folds. Premature whitening or graying of the hair on your scalp, eyelashes, eyebrows or beard. Loss of colour in the tissues that line the inside of your mouth (mucous membranes). Loss or change in colour of the inner layer of your eye (retina). Although any part of your body may be affected by vitiligo, depigmentation usually first develops on sun-exposed areas of your skin, such as your hands, feet, arms, face and lips. Vitiligo generally appears in one of three patterns: Focal. Depigmentation is limited to one or a few areas of your body. Segmental. Loss of skin color occurs on only one side of your body. Generalized. Pigment loss is widespread across many parts your body.
These are the three most common causes. However if your symptoms cause you concern, you would be advised to contact your doctor for diagnosis and treatment

It's not ringworm, but it's a similar type of fungus. The doc will have some solution that you can apply to get rid of it.

Again, it is NOT ringworm.....My wife had this several years ago. It's totally cureable....just go to a dermatologist. The cure is a prescription med.

Eczema patients can avoid scratchy fibers for softer ones like bamboo, cotton, or silk, which are gentler on the skin. Opting to buy organic fibers can also be a wise, healthy, and eco-friendly alternative. Learn here https://tr.im/GJQd7

Is this an allergic reaction? I don't know because this doesn't seem like the normal reaction you'd get from one. Go see your doctor or do like me and go into urgent care and see what's up.
