View allI've been noticing that I seem to get rashes only at night, but by the morning they're completely gone. It's really puzzling and a bit worrying. I'm wondering what could be causing this? Is there something about night time that triggers rashes like these? Should I be concerned, or is this something that can happen normally?

I've been dealing with a ringworm for a couple of years now, and it just doesn't seem to go away no matter how many doctors I see. I'm starting to feel a bit desperate. What could be going wrong, and how should I approach getting rid of it for good?
Despite being diagnosed and treated by multiple doctors, your persistent ringworm infection over the past two years suggests that the underlying cause might not have been fully addressed; consider consulting a dermatologist for a re-evaluation, as they may recommend additional tests, such as a skin scraping or biopsy, to confirm the diagnosis and identify any underlying conditions, such as a fungal, bacterial, or parasitic infection, and provide targeted treatment, which may include antifungal medications, creams, or ointments.
