I'm sorry to hear about the discomfort and spreading of the red rings with irritation and darkening. This could indicate a worsening or complicated skin infection, possibly fungal or mixed with bacterial involvement, especially since the condition is spreading and changing color despite using ointments.

Here are some important steps you should take:

• Stop using any ointments not prescribed by a doctor until you get a proper evaluation, as inappropriate use can worsen the condition.
• Avoid scratching or covering the area tightly, as this can increase irritation and spread.
• Keep the affected area clean and dry, since moisture can promote fungal growth.
• Given the symptoms of spreading, irritation, and darkening, it is crucial to consult a dermatologist (skin specialist) promptly. They can examine the area, possibly take a skin scraping or culture, and prescribe the appropriate treatment.
• Treatment may involve prescription antifungal creams or oral medications, and sometimes antibiotics if a bacterial infection is present.
• Supplements such as multivitamins, zinc, and probiotics may support skin healing but should not replace medical treatment.

Please seek medical attention soon to prevent further complications and get tailored treatment. If you experience severe pain, fever, or rapid worsening, consider urgent care.
