What Causes Itchy Rashes?

i have an itchy rash which started on my back a few weeks ago the doctor thought it might be an allergy and prescribed a weeks course of anti hystamines. the rash has now moved around to my chest , under my arms and behind my knees. some of the marks look crescent shaped and it itches like crazy. ive been under a lot of stress lately could this possibly be a cause.

Hi and thanks for the query,
THIs could be due to an infection or an allergy. The lesions are very easy to distinguish under a dermatological lens. Even some fungal infections are accompanied by itches. I strongly suggest you see a Dr. Kind regards
