Is this ringworm or pityriases rosea?!


Question: This itchy spot appeared on my armpit-it has fairly large. (It doesn't itch anymore and it is a little smaller.) These other red oval spots appeared on my stomach almost in a triangle (minus one dot). Also there was one on my wrist that healed and another one near my elbow that is healing.
The one on my armpit is the only one that seriously itched.
I have had this before and it healed on its own, but never this bad.

I'm going to guess pityriases rosea. I looked these 2 up on the web and that seems to be the best answer. Check for yourself to see which one is more like your symptoms:
