You have a rash that covers the body. This indicates something concerning, such as an infection or allergic reaction. You have a fever with the rash. If this is the case, go to the emergency room. The rash is sudden and spreads rapidly. The rash is painful. The rash is infected.

Why do I keep getting infections in my body?

Not washing your hands. Not scrubbing up after you use the bathroom or before you touch your nose and mouth can lead to repeat infections. That’s especially true if you get colds or the flu often. It may seem like you’re getting the same infection, but you might be getting infected with different viruses.

As these bumps clear, new ones can form. Sometimes, the small bumps join together to form rough, raised patches.

What kills a fungal infection?

Antifungals are medicines that kill or stop the growth of fungi (the plural of fungus) that cause infections. They are also called antimycotic agents.
