About a week ago i found a ringworm on me. I haven't had one since i was a kid. I thought nothing of it once i googled it and it is just a skin infections. Then yesterday i noticed a rash. On my sides and my butt and my thighs. Its round red dry looking spots. I have no idea what it is. I showed my mom. She said it looked like an allergic reaction. I haven't been exposed to anything new. I don't know what to think. I have put something on it and my mom said if its not gone within the next day that i should go to the doctor. It doesn't itch or burn. I don't even notice it really. I may try to google some stuff. I am allergic to two different medicines. I have had a reactions similar to this but on my arms.

"Natural remedy on red spots If your spots have been around for longer than a month, and are growing all this while, you need to get a medical examination done in order to determine what exactly they are. It could be anything from an allergic reaction to a rash. It could also mean you have ringworms, since they typically show up looking like spots on the skin. If your red spots are due to an allergy, you can apply yogurt or chilled unsalted butter to them. This will provide relief and also help getting rid of the allergens. You can also apply aloe vera gel to your spots, since this has powerful healing properties. If your skin is excessively dry, you can mash an avocado and apply it to your spots for instant moisturizing and relief. Maintain a routine of applying a thin layer of almond or olive oil to your body after a bath to get rid of dry skin permanently. If you have a rash, you can apply calamine lotion for cooling down the skin. Applying a mix of chilled milk cream and a teaspoon of turmeric powder to your spots will help heal the rash. Mix four teaspoons of baking soda in a large tumbler of water and apply this for 10 minutes at a time. This will help heal and also sanitize the rash. If you have ringworm, apply tea tree oil to the spots. This should take care of the problem within a day or two.
