Is this a Fungal Infection?

Yes it is quite itchy, now one of the rashes originated where there was a mosquito bite, but the other one was a simple cut, but no I have not had any contacts with ticks.
And yes, after I first found them they grew and after I used the anti fungal cream they seemed to stop and then grow a bit more, but I checked the instructions and I was using the cream incorrectly and I changed it 3 days ago, since then it appears they have not grown more, but I am unsure.

Yeah, I can understand the uncertainty. My concern is stemming from what you just mentioned…that one originated where there was a mosquito bite and another from a simple cut. Both had points of entry into your skin whether a fungus or bacteria. Especially if the areas itch so much it would be easy to get an infection by scratching, no matter how cautious you are.

To be safe I’d really suggest stopping into clinic to have these areas looked at by a doctor. Even a First Care or walk-in clinic. That way you’ll know for sure and the worry is taken off your shoulders. Sometimes it’s simple matter of getting a prescription topical medication. ☺️

Hi! I’ve been wondering if you’ve found any relief for the rashy areas on your arm. Has there been any change in size and itchiness?

I hope you’ve been able to have them checked out at a clinic so you don’t have to put up with that all summer. 😉 Lori
