Dermatology - strange rash


Expert: Uribe - 6/8/2009

Question
back when i was young, i got a dry red, circular rash usually on my waist, usually one or 2 small circles.

now recently i got another rash, it is right on my jock area. and it is  very itchy. when i am walking it is ok, a little itchy, but when i am taking a shower it is the most itchy.   
it is red/purple in color, many small circular raised nodes. i thought it was jock itch ringworm, i tried, using anti fungal talcom powder. but that didn't seem to help any.
before it was really dry and red, and now it's not very dry, but it's changing into a fusia purple....

especially when irritated.
i shower everyday but it remains, it's the worst after swimming or excersizing.
