What are these brown/ tan spots on my skin?HELP PLEASE!?

About 3 months ago, 3 brown/tan spots (they're round and some are circular, while others are like ovals) appeared on the skin under my right armpit. 2 weeks ago, I checked again and now I have six. They are flat, round, and brown. they cant be sun spots because obviously being where they are, they have not been overly exposed to the sun. They arent birthmarks because they just recently appeared. They arent liver spots because I'm not that old. I'm not even 18! So what in the world are they??? help please.

they dont itch, get red, or anything. They look like I've had them all my life, like a birthmark or just a discoloration, but thats it. no pain or anything. it doesnt even irritate me. I never would have noticed it if my friend didnt point it out at cheer practice!

Sounds like moles to me. Do any of your relatives have moles?

I have them...the older I get, the more they appear.

The fungi that cause ringworm thrive in warm, moist areas. Ringworm is more likely when you have frequent wetness (such as from sweating) and minor injuries to your skin, scalp, or nail.
Arm pit has warmth, moisture and darkness. Hence it is a congenial place for the fungi to grow. The spot is circular or oval and it is sreading just like fungus infection. The colour of the skin changes according to the type of fungi infected. Hence it is most probabe that the infection of the skin is due to fungus. You may purchase over-the-counter antifungal ointment from the drug store and apply the same.
Please see the webpages for more details on Ringworm.

Someone suggested ringworm, are they circles? I do know ringworm itches. Sounds like you have some kind of skin disorder. I highly suggest you see a dermatologist, anytime you see something that is unusual, especially since you have more that just appear, you need to get professional treatment. Keep us posted

i have these EXACT same things with the same things, there not in spots the sun usually gets to, im under 18 they dont itch or anything like that, and basicly exactly what you described, but sadley, im sorry i dont know wat they are either, but i have had one for about a year... i dont think they are anything bad, but dont take my word on that
