Is this ringworm? What do I do?


I got all these dark spots (circular and semi cicurlar) on me. There's a mass of them on my back at least one (that I know of) on each arm and there may be more.
My brother, who had ringworm when he was a kid, says he doesn't think it's ringworm because there's so many but I just read a minute ago that that can happen. But I also read that ringworm causes the skin to raise where infected and itch. My skin's not raised, it doesn't really itch (then again I've always itched quite a bit all my life) but at the same time the cream one would use for ringworm works for me. It takes a few days but they slowly fade away.
Two questions: Is there something that's similar to ringworm that I may have that someone here knows of?
Since I seem to have a bunch of them, some unknown, is there a way of treating the entirity of my skin so that I can make sure it all goes bye bye?
Thanks for any help.

i'm not a doctor, but it doesn't sound like a ringworm. it does sound like it's some form of fungus, and that's why the cream is working. my son had it when he was 4yrs old. with fungus cream, you have to use ALL of it in the infected area- even when there isn't any more visible signs. this is because traces of it can still be under the skin. GO SEE A DOCTOR.

go to the health department

could be scabies. It is veeeeery contagious, see your doctor immediately.

No, it don't sound like ring worm. That would be a red circle. I'd go to the doctor before you spread it to other areas of your body or worse, your friends.

Go get it checked by a doctor

Not ringworm, that's red......Could be the Lurgy......see Doctor as soon as possible.

No it does not sound like a ringworm ,it sounds more like some type of dry skin.

There are a couple of other bacterial skin conditions floating around. Go to a dermatologist and have them look at it.
