Hello,
From what you are describing, it seems like a fungal rash. However, you can send a photo to me to evaluate it further.
For the moment, as the rash is spreading you need to take prescription meds. So, we should consult with dermatologist as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, can take antifungal cream containing terbinafine with hydrocortisone on the affected areas, along with anti-itching cream.
Do bathe with anti-fungal shampoo (clotrimazole or ketoconazole shampoo) twice a week. But most important is to see your dermatologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
