Not healing rash
I am attaching a pic. These rashes have been there across different areas on the body like in the groin area underarms, stomach and chest. It's not healing since 28 days. I have been using itraconazole 200 mg and soap and liloconazole cream along with anti fungal powder as prescribed by the doctor, also I purchased homeopathy medicines but not using it. Both the doctos I,e dermatologist and homeapthy doctor said it's tinea corporis/ Ringworm.  Also it has not spread to my partner. I just want to know what exactly it is ? Tinea corporis? Eczema or psoriasis or any other rash. Is it a sign of diabetes or an early symptom of HIV.

Namastey Based on your description, the rash has been present for approximately four weeks and involves multiple areas, including the groin, underarms, chest, and abdomen. Conditions such as tinea corporis (ringworm), eczema, psoriasis, intertrigo, contact dermatitis, and certain other skin disorders can sometimes have overlapping appearances, making it difficult to establish a definitive diagnosis based solely on a description or even photographs. The fact that both the dermatologist and homeopathic practitioner have considered tinea corporis suggests that a fungal infection is a significant possibility, but it is important to understand that skin conditions can occasionally mimic one another. Persistent pigmentation with mild redness can also be seen during the healing phase of some skin conditions. Regarding your concern about diabetes or HIV, it is important to note that a rash alone does not confirm either condition. While recurrent or persistent fungal infections can sometimes be associated with underlying health conditions, the appearance of a rash by itself is not sufficient to conclude that diabetes, HIV, or any other systemic illness is present. Similarly, the fact that your partner has not developed similar symptoms does not necessarily confirm or exclude a fungal infection, as individual susceptibility and exposure can vary.
Next Steps
Since the rash has persisted despite ongoing treatment, I would recommend a detailed follow-up evaluation with a qualified healthcare professional. It is important to review the progression of the rash, the response to treatment so far, and any associated symptoms such as itching, scaling, burning, or changes in pigmentation. A thorough clinical assessment is often necessary to distinguish between fungal infections and other skin conditions that can appear similar.

Health Tips
Keep the affected areas clean and dry, especially in skin folds such as the groin and underarms. Wear loose-fitting, breathable clothing and avoid excessive sweating whenever possible. Refrain from scratching the lesions, as this may worsen irritation and delay recovery. Avoid self-diagnosing based on internet images, as many skin conditions can closely resemble one another. Persistent skin rashes often require careful clinical correlation rather than relying solely on appearance. Maintaining good hygiene, following medical advice consistently, and seeking timely follow-up when symptoms do not improve are important steps toward achieving optimal skin health. Thank you

Ayurveda addresses scaly skin lesions by identifying imbalances in the Vata, Pitta, or Kapha doshas and focuses on internal purification and topical nourishment. Treatments are tailored to whether the lesion stems from conditions like Kitibha (psoriasis), Vicharchika (eczema), or Dadru (ringworm). Ayurvedic texts attribute these conditions to "Viruddha Ahara" (incompatible food combinations), such as consuming milk with fish, as well as the suppression of natural urges like thirst or sleep. These factors lead to the accumulation of Ama (toxins), which then settle in the skin (Tvaka) and blood (Rakta)
