Rash for 1 year, prescriptions not helping!

Hello, everyone!

A year ago I began to get rashes on my legs. I figured it was normal, as I get eczema, and promptly ignored it. I went to a dermatologist after several months, and she diagnosed it as nummular eczema. It's true it looked very similar, but the lotions she suggested didn't help. I went to another dermatologist as they started to show up in other places. She took a skin test, and it came back positive for ringworm. The rashes don't have rings, and no one in the my family got ringworm for the entire year I'd had it. I tried anti fungal pills, then anti fungal/steroid lotion. I'm on day five of the lotion (after the pills failed) and the rashes don't seem to be getting any better. In fact, there are circular bruises around the area of the rash (but I could just be scratching too hard?). Does anyone know what this could be? I was tested for lupus in janurary, but it came back negative. Not sure what to do next!  Thanks.
