Tinea Versicolor?

Three months ago I moved during a hot, humid 2-day period using a car w/o AC. I wore a very uncomfortable underwire bra because it was the only clean one that had not been packed up. I developed an irritation under my arms that I attributed to that irritation from the bra and being sweaty. It has itched and burned for all this time, sometimes getting a little better. Now I've noticed it's spreading to other areas of my underarms away from the original irritation site, looks like it scabs over for a while, and is a dark color. I've self-diagnosed myself (dangerous, I know) with tinea versicolor of the underarm. Is this what you think it is and is there some over-the-counter treatment (tea tree oil, Selsun shampoo/lotion, etc.) that would help this or should I just go on to the doctor?
Thanks for any help or personal experience!
