Could My Spreading, Itchy Rash That Began On My Mons Pubis And Resembles Ringworm Be Eczema, Ringworm, Or Scabies?

I got something similar to ringworm almost 3 weeks ago and it started spreading and I have been treating it with domestic thyme oil but it kept spreading so I went to pharmacy and got antifungal cream which visibly helped but I am still wondering what it is because my friends parents that are doctors told me that it’s scabies but I don’t think it is because my partner doesn’t have anything on him and we’ve been sharing blankets. I don’t know if it’s possible to send a picture of it but I have been googling it and most similar pictures are of eczema and ringworm. It starts as a blister or a pimple then it becomes infected then it crusts and when the crust falls of it’s just a red spot that heals very slowly. It’s been itchy but not bleeding nor painful. It started on my mons and it has spread around my upper thighs.

Hi,

Avoid sharing clothes, towels and blankets. Use separate soap and towel. You need to have a direct consultation with dermatologist for a proper diagnosis.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
