The other morning i woke up and noticed that on the side of my right breast there was a read mark, kinda like a popped blood vessel, it was a little dry as well, i didn't really pay much attention to it till that night when i noticed there was kinda this light circle around it and and off the the side there was another dry spot and a small circle around that, this morning i noticed another red dot... hell i'm scared man, i dunno what to do.. I've scubbed it as hard as i could when i take my showers and now i'm taking like 4 a day, i'm putting this neospotian cream on it and i've washed and rewashed my clothes and anything else i can wash in my house.. i don't know what this is.. it reminds me kinda of ring worm i think.. but that couldn't be it.. i dunno even know how i could get it on my breast.. please help i'm scared.. please tell me what this could be and help me get rid of it?!?!?!!

I think you already know what most people are going to tell you what you should do.
Go to your doctor and show it to him/her. No one can diagnose you over the internet!!!

If your rash looks like a bullseye, it is Lyme Disease (caused from the bite of an infected tick). This type of rash is a definite diagnosis of Lyme. Not everyone who has Lyme gets a rash, about 50% do, and not every Lyme rash looks like a bullseye. It is a good idea to photograph your rash for documentation. Place something near it, like a coin or ruler, before photographing it to give it size definition. That way you have evidence of it if needed later.
Please get to a doctor and have this checked.

Don't freak out too bad. :) Yes you should see a doctor. But in the mean time, sounds like a fungal skin infection similar to ringworm. You can try a cheap, at home treatment to see. Buy some dandruff shampoo, like Head and Shoulders. Put a little dab on each spot (and rub it in and leave it there, kinda like you would lotion) once in the morning and once at night. After 2-3 days, if it's a fungal infection, it should show marked improvement or be gone.
A doctor would give you better medicine. :)

Hey LilSmalls, :wave:
Sounds like a ringworms. Do you have a cat? I had them one time and I freaked out. I had gotten a kitten and me and my ex-boyfriend were covered. They eventually went away by themselves. I couldnt not afford to go to the doctor.
But if it doesnt clear up you should go.
