My skin has been itchy and when i scratch it, i'm left with marks that look like ring worms i went to the pharmacy to get antifungal treatment but it's been 2 weeks and it's gotten worse?

Basics: When good treatments don't help the label/diagnosis is often wrong. If your skin swells after scratching it is a skin response called dermatographia not fungus. Some people do it others do not. you need to discuss it with your doc, since it can be found more often in certain conditions that may require treatment.
