Hello,
From the symptoms chances are less likely that it is eczema because rash of eczema does not spread. Fungal rash have a property of spreading to other parts of body. However to confirm the diagnosis, it is advisable to get a KOH examination of the skin scrapings done.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.

Hello,
This kind of rash can be due to fungal infection or eczema and the bumps can be due to pompholyx (if itchy) or scabies. Most cases respond to over-the-counter products, which contain any of several basic ingredients: miconazole, tolnaftate, terbinafine,ketaconazole and clotrimazole. You can consult a pharmacist and get any cream or lotion containing these ingredients. Some of them are Lamisil, Monistat derm, Mycelex, and Nizoral.
