Do you have any pets? Ringworm is extremely itchy and the middle picture shows a circular patch.

I have put some hydrocortisone on it and some calamine lotion to sooth it.
I have a cat.
I am also taking max does piriton every day to help with the itch.

Try buying some Clotrimazole HC [clotrimazole and hydrocortisone mixed, it's the generic version of Canesten HC so a lot cheaper]
I would also look at your cat, [sorry puss!] Your ankle could be a flea bite. It is the weather for it and cats [amongst other animals also have ringworm which is contagious. Does the cat have any bare patches that perhaps s/he is licking a lot? That would be a sign of ringworm, also easily treated, with a powder from the vet. You might be able to buy it from Boots or similar these days, I haven't had a cat for a few years now, so am out of date. It's the time of year that animals get 'things'!

Thanks for the cream suggestion, I will look out for it.
The rash has spread to my tummy now but there are just small red bumps, trip to doc in order I think

The rash has gone done somewhat now, my ear is red hot now with lumps behind it.

Do you think a spider or fleas might have bit you behind your ear? We don't have any lymph nodes there to swell up. This red, hot ear sounds like an allergy to something - and it usually passes when the allergen is gone. I guess you could try Benadryl (use only a very small quantity of this, though, as the side-effect is getting very drowsy. I think the red-hot ear is a separate issue from the itchy palms. Let us know what the doctor says - and best of luck!!

It could be that you were sensitive to something in your oven cleaner but, as I say, consult your GP
