Unlikley to be fungal infection!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this rash that you have reported. I have reviewed your information fully. This is not suggestive of any possible fungal infection. It looks more like an allergy and I will like to know whether there has been any recent changes in your body lotions or anything you apply to the body. If there has been, this is probably the cause and you would need to sideline it. For now, apply cortisol cream and report the progress to me.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.

Thank you for that quik Answer doc,
I work 2 weeks shifts and live in a work camp ,that is where the rash seams to fire up with head feelings of fogginess / dizyness
I have no new soap or lotions and cannot think about anything that i changed in my diet to trigger it.
The start of it could corespond with the time i have been moved to a different camp
So i was thinking maybe the laundry powder...
can alergie cause that state of dizyness and fatigue?
And why only on my lower legs?
I ll try cortisol ..
Thanks you,
Nic

Brief Answer:
Check around the camp. There must be something!
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
This rash and the story is suggestive of an allergy. The cause is unknown but should be in your environment. Monitor closely and for sure relate these symptoms to place and products and there would be a clear pattern to draw inferences from.
Keep me posted and let me know how you do with the cortisol cream.
