I recently had what seemed to be a ton of bug bites on both my hands and forearms. I thought they were ant bites because one morning a week ago I woke up to what seem like hundreds of ants in my bed. I wipe the bites with rubbing alcohol. A few days later I discovered what seemed like a ringworm next to the bites. Ive since then haven't slept in my room. Its been about a week and a half the ringworm has faded and the bites have turned into dark marks some are dried dark patches of skin simuilar to liver sploshes and are now on the top of my feet and inner top of my thigh. Im worried Im not sexually active my last partner and I have both been tested and are fine so what could be causing?

But.. did you treat the ringworm? You can buy Lotrimin and other products OTC. Ringworm can spread easily and is contagious. Show it to your pharmacist. A doctor can do a scraping and determine for sure if it is the ringworm fungus, which isn't a worm and isn't always a ring shape.

Ive treated it with clotrimazole its almost gone but the bumps turned dark and don't seem to be going away and spreading. I also tried using an ointment clobetasol propionate 0.05% which was prescribed to me for discoloration on my hands due to hair dye it helped get rid of one dark patch on my shoulder but doent seem to do anything for the marks and bumps on my hands arms and top of my feet. If these things aren't working what could I use or do to get rid of them.

Now that you have revealed other conditions and other medications, I think you need to stay with your doctor's treatment, or go to a specialist dermatologist. There's just too much history and too many possibilities.
