Itchy Red Rings On The Face And Near Armpit. What Are These?

Hello, I have these red rings about 1 1/2 all around my neck , I ve had them for about 8 months and have done nothing about it, because they were small and didn t bother me. Since its gotten hot here in ny, these rings are now very itchy and have doubled in size around my neck, and 1 new ring is near my right armpit. Any ideas as to what they may be?

Thanks for choosing HCM,
you are having fungal infection called TINEA FASCIE which is extending to your armpit (becoming tinea Cruris ) start applying 1percent clotrimazole cream twice a day and tab terbinafine 250 mg once for atleast 2 weeks and then let me know.
Bye for now
