About time see MD: You have a rash which is spreading and your own home treatment with Benadryl (diphenhydramine) cream is ineffective and it is spreading
i think it ia about time you see your doctor or a dermatologist to find the cause of your rash
it needs to be checked as there are several possibility like impetigo, fungus infections and others.

Unclear question.: If you have a dog, you might have caught a skin fungus from it. But your question is so vague that it is hard to give a good answer.
