Does anyone get skin marks like these?

Or know what they are? The one with the blue circle has been there the longest, the others coming over the past few weeks/months. They’re like bruises crossed with birthmarks. Now spreading across the torso/under boob area. Not painful, not from clothes rubbing or detergent etc (I’m pretty sure on the latter as we use the gentlest non bio).

Have no medical knowledge! They look like “liver” or “age” spots.

Ringworm? Eczema?

Pityriasis rosea. The long lasting one is the "herald" patch.
I had them in the same area. They go away eventually and leave no trace. I think it was lasted a couple of months or so.

Looks like my exczema. I get it in little patches like that. Usually stress related.

Are they red or brown? I get brown marks like this and its a fungal infectionEnvyBlush
Canestan fungal cream clears them up.

My first thought was pityriasis rosea too, by the way they kind of follow the contours of your ribs. But my only qualification for saying that is having had it myself!

Crikey! Ringworm! They’re not itchy at all. They’re like someone has dug their fingers in and it’s left permanent marks. I will google the suggestions. I do get mild eczema on my hands.

My vote is for something fungal, and Canestan to get rid of it.

CeraVe cream got rid of mine,it was a form of dry skin.
