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,

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.
