Getting worse!!!!!

I have had these red patches on my arm pit area, under breasts and few other places for a year now. I cant go see a doctor right now for lack of funds. I'm getting worried. They used to be really small and now they are huge. They are very soft and maybe a little raised other than that i don't feel them. Can someone please just tell me what exactly they are? thank you.

It almost looks a lot like Erythrodermic Psoriasis.  However, with that it tends to burn, itch, slightly peel, and cover a lot of the body.  It is a little hard to teel from the picture.  Does it itch, or burn?  Flake up? We need more information.

Do you think it could be something life threatening?

I haven't had any luck with clinics here, but maybe you can try something like that.

Do you by any chance use fabric softener in the washer? It looks to me like your skin is having an allergic reaction to something ,  could possibly be body wash too strong ?
I couldnt say it was life threatening but i doubt it is. Try using mild skin cleaner  like physoderm  its ph balanced for skin. good luck hun .

Try using over the counter hydro cortisone ointment. Just in a small area. If it clears up, it is probably an immune response to something.
Allergic reaction could be do to anything.
