Rashes On Face, Spreading To Pubic Area, Stomach, Near Waist. What Is It?

Hello, I am worried about this rash that I have had developing over the last 5 days. It started on my face on both cheeks and it did not itch much nor was raised hardly at all. It was bothersome though. Then I exercised and the rash sprea to my pubic area and lower stomach both sides of the belly button and side of the waist. It does not itch at all and is now on my penis and is basically like dry skin. It looks exactly like dry skin would look like. Any ideas?

Hi,
From sites mentioned are prone to grow fungal infection.
You are having fungal infection.
Only local application of anti-fungal cream is not enough.
You may require oral anti fungal medicines for complete cure.
Consult your doctor and if he feels then he will prescribe oral anti-fungal medicine like Flucanozole 150 mg once in a week for 4 weeks.
Keep affected part dry, clean and allow full air on the parts.
Ok and bye.
