What's this weird Rash?

I've just been to the gym, came home to change and noticed this rash. it's mostly on my back but also some on my front.
They are perfect flat circles and don't itch. Any ideas? Will get it checked out tomorrow if it's still there.
Just wondered if anyone had a clue?

I'd go with sweat rash with you mentioning the gym

Pityriasis versicolor or discoid eczema

My money is on pityriasis as you mention the gym

WishyWashyWoop · 28/02/2020 20:45

is pityriasis a fungal thing?

Try using antidandruff shampoo - put it on leave 5 mins then wash off twice a day for a couple of weeks

WishyWashyWoop · 28/02/2020 21:32

really?! antidandruff shampoo eh? thanks for all your info, I've googled pityriasis and it looks like a watered down version of that.

I did get a rash when pregnant! Couldn't work out why I had it until I tested positive!

ittooshallpass · 29/02/2020 07:49

That's ringworm. You need an anti fungal cream. You need to wash your bedding and towels... and don't share with anyone else... it's contagious. You probably picked it up from gym 🤷‍♀️

DD had pityriasis rosea last year and it looked very much like that. Have you got a larger spot anywhere that should be the herald spot?

Took weeks to go but didn't cause any issues apart from being a bit itchy sometimes.

WishyWashyWoop · 29/02/2020 08:09

@HipHopBanzai Actually thinking about it I have had a single spot on my bra line that has been there a few days wheras the others all appeared afterwards🤔

But also could be ringworm I suppose, although looking at images of that it doesn't look red enough.
I will try and get it checked out somewhere.

Is it still there, I had pityriasis rosea and it was on my torso mainly and slightly itchy, it lasts weeks but is not too bad. Mine started with a herald patch spot which is a bigger one, it’s not fungal but pityriasis versicolor is I think

WishyWashyWoop · 29/02/2020 21:44

It's gone! just got the big one left by my bra strap. Strange🤔
Thanks tho everyone.
