i have been working too hard travelling too much and generally overdoing it - My health is suffering - and one of my biggest bugbears is what i think is ringworm/ fungal infection. i am otherwise very healthy - never actuially ill - fit and strong

doc says its dry skin/ecsma - but i'm 38 - never had it before and no one in my family has that and it seems more like an infection of some sort to me

i have it in several places - originally in my groin - now also between my buttocks - a patch on my scalp and i think in my ears

is mostly dry flacking itchy skin - alternately red and sore or dry and itching
raised at the edges - where they are easy to see
had it for years now
worse after prolonged activity
not rampant but slowly spreading
when treated with hydrocortizone cream - improved/ but returned
slight lessening of symptoms with antifungal cream
skin often flakes in large papery thin peices
skin underneath smooth, bit pink but otherwise heathly looking
slight smell - a bit sweet and yeasty

do you think this is ringworm

i can go back to docs but will either get brush off with ecsmea - or if i insist its fungal prescribed oral anifungals - which i dont want to take.
