Odd spots on breast

Images of my left breast, the smaller spot is almost identical to how the big spot looked on Tuesday

One spot came up last week and has got progressively bigger and itchier the other is small and is the same as the first started out and is now getting bigger
I've sent an e consult to my dr so waiting on an answer but has anyone else had anything like this?

The first came up after allergy testing last week and I sent them photos, they said it's a bug bite but I'm not so sure now

It could be psoriasis (itchy and dry) or a ringworm fungus (usually in sweatier areas, or on the edges of your bras where it rubs).

I usually just buy some Canesten (2% is the best from the pharmacy), and use that three times a day for fungus. This usually feels better after a week, if not then I try the other treatment of cream for psoriasis.

That is just what I do, but it is worth seeing what the e consultation says.

The 2nd definitely looks more like a bug bite, the first is exactly like a patch I've had for nearly 2 years! Tried the cordizone cream and it didn't work. It's just below my nipple so when it itches the whole area gets red and sore.

Seeing the nurse practitioner tomorrow so hoping they can give me something to sort it
It's itching every so often like crazy
Fingers crossed it's not ringworm as I'll have to treat the whole house as the dogs and cat love a cuddle and are regularly sprawled over me on the sofa as well as the kids

Looks like ringworm but that’s interesting about the eczema.

I had similar all over my body 20 years ago and they diagnosed tongeitm bug if was completely resistant to treatment. I wonder if it was in fact this eczema?
