Itchy bumpy spot on face keeps reappearing after treatment.

In April, I developed this small area on my face that was itchy. I went to the doctor after having it for about a month. The doc stated it was probably a rash that I scratched and it then became infected. Still without knowing what type of rash it was or what may have caused it, I used the antifungal/steroid ointment she prescribed. The rash cleared up, but a few weeks later it returned in the exact same spot. Same symptoms. I went back to the doctor, and she prescribed the same ointment. I realize this is helping the problem, but it is not getting rid of it. As soon as it clears up, it tends to come right back. This is now the 3rd time it has appeared.  At first it just feels like I have 2 small bumps/pimples but it is not red. You can just feel that there are two raised bumps on my skin. When you touch them, they immediately start to itch. Once you start to scratch them, it starts to get worse. The bumps dont ooze and are not puss filled. If anything does so happen to drain from them, it is usally clear and odorless.  The area of breakout will eventually grow to about the size of a quarter. Once i apply the ointment and it heals, i usually have a small purple area on the skin for some time afterward. It it is very difficult to get an appointment with a dermatologist around here and I dread having to wait 3-6 months for an appointment. I was just hoping to get some insight on it now, so maybe I can take it up with my PCP if at all possible.

Fungus has a habit of recurring.  I wish I knew why.  You could consider asking your derm if it would be a good idea for you to have oral antifungals next.  I have no idea if this would clear the area for longer or permanently but it is a bigger step to take.  

You must ask your derm to explain the situation to you a little more thoroughly.  Make that appointment.  

While you are waiting, you should consider looking at the natural anti-fungal soaps etc. on the market and try to combat this fungus from every angle.  I know that fungus can be quite clever and builds up a resistance to some of the things that you use so make sure that you rotate products in order to make this less likely.  

I would recommend that you read up on this one in order to manage it yourself - especially if derms are hard to get hold of in your neck of the woods.  Obviously, your derm will be useful but you need to ask every conceivable question you can when you are in his office or you'll have a long wait until the next time..

I would say that, with fungus, you use a product which kills it.  Once you have done this, you need to use products just to make sure it isn't able to come back and get a hold again.  This is the sort of thinking which makes a recurrence less likely.  

Please let me know what happens for you.
