Hi i have this really weird red spot about the side of a 10p coin on the side of my left breast. Its been there for a while, it isn’t itchy or anything but its odd. I also noticed an irregular dry patch on my lower abdomen

Any changes in your breasts should be shown to a doctor. Likely it's nothing, perhaps just some eczema, but you need to get it check out.

Ringworm?

Could it be Pityriasis Rosea? It sounds similar to the start of when I had that? The Herald Patch came first and then the rash all over my torso? It appeared over about a week, more and more until I was covered. None on arms, legs or face/neck though - just torso. It did not itch at all, just looked odd. It resolved itself after 6 weeks. GP said it could be triggered by stress - I was sitting my finals at Uni and was mega stressed at the time.
