Rash On Back - What Is It??? (Picture Included)

I'm a 21 year old male with a rash on my back. I've been to the doctor who told me it was a form of yeast infection and prescribed me a thrust pill to deal with it. This hasn't really helped and believe it may be something else. Please view image Here or copy this link into your browser : http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c136/jaswindu/Rash.jpg

Cheers

My guesses based on the photo would be Impetigo or Ringworm, however, if this infection is not responding to the antifungal medication I would lean more to the possibility of Impetigo.  Reconsult your physician and inform him/her that the medication is not working.  This is probably not going to clear up immediately from
the looks of it.  

How long have you been taking the antifungal medication/"thrush pill"?  How many pills are you supposed to take?  

I would recommend not applying ANYTHING on it.

if he says it's a yeast infection, i know this is going to sound very crazy but it works on them all. go to the store and buy monostat or a generic form of yeast med. for a womans yeast infection, but make sure it's a cream form, and apply it to the area and see if that helps you out at all.
