I have started to get a few circular rashes on my body. i have one that has been there for about 1 year. it is starting to bug me. They are itchy and dark. My family has a history of eczema, but i have never had a problem. 3 years ago i got a ringworm andit was treated easily, but from then on i started to get other rashes, i have used pevisone cream and it reduce syptoms eventually and it always comes back , i have also used a ezcema cream but i still have them. I also have a cough, i have had one for years but i do not think it has anything to do with it because i ha a cough before i started getting anything......Please tell me what you think it is? I have been to the doctors before but nothing is happening......

sounds like you have a fungal infection known as ringworm.
That it keeps coming back could be due to an outside influence...you keep getting re-infected.
Do you keep your house clean? Do you wash clothes and bedding regularly at least once a week? Do you wash towels after each use? Is there mold growing in your shower? Have you checked your air ventilation system for mold and other contaminants?

i agree sounds like ringworm, if it is a bad case and has been around for a year cream might not be able to fix it, you may need to go to the doctors to get some tablets for it as ringworm is just a skin condition but can sometimes be resistent to the antifungal creams used to treat it

Hmmm...sounds like ringworm to me -- & a stubborn case, at that! You can get it again & again, you know. Try Tinactin ointment & apply it religiously for the recommended amount of time.
