Fungal skin infection- Aargh!

I apparently have this, started off as one patch on my arm, so the doctor prescribed Canasten, which I've been using. Yesterday, I noticed it had spread, I've now 7-8 patches on my skin and one possibly in my scalp.

I just itch all over and I'm trying to stop the DC from touching me, and everything is being washed.

It's messing with my MH too which is really hard as I'd controlled this aspect of MH for so long.

Does anyone know what would be the next stage of treatment and how long it could take to clear?

do you have eczema? There is an eczema called discoid eczema that can sometimes be misdiagnosed as ringworm

Thanks ilove, I don't have eczema but I have psoriasis, it's something to consider as it is quite similar to descriptions that I've just looked up.
