Rash on skin that is not conspicous

[gabeskullers]

I have has some kind of rash on my skin only on my arms and shoulders(front side) for over 2 months now. I went to a doctor first who said it looked like ringworm and gave me nizoral for a week. Nothing helped. I went to a different doc again after a month who said it could be eczema and gave me ammonium lactate to apply twice a day. I felt like there was improvement but after 2 weeks the rash looks just like it was before except it started turning dark and patchy. The rash peels like dead/dry skin every once in a while. I had no other symptoms no fever or anything.

To be more clear let me also add I am dark skinned person, also my doctor mentioned the rash is raised exactly on my hair follicles. The rash started appearing right after I started working out in a public gym lifting heavy weights. Also the thing that freaks me out is the rash does not itch unless I am in a hot shower or if I scratch it then it becomes real itchy. I will go and get tested for HIV soon but I am waiting to be past 3 months (which will be in 2 weeks) since the last time I had unprotected sex to be conclusive.

You can test for HIV now and doubt that the result will change in 2 weeks. Have you seen a dermotologist? Your rash has nothing to do with a STD.
