What is this?!?! I've had these weird red spots on my chest and abdomen for almost two months now. They don't itch or hurt or anything but they seem to have developed a white crusty surface over time. They are predominantly dispersed over my upper body, abdomen and sides.

Have you showed anyone other than us! GET TO A DOCTOR! I would even go into a hospital to get it checked out or a clinic. It could be serious and you don't want to get infected. So, go to a doctor it's not worth the wait for it to get worse.

Same thing
I have the same spots on my body. I noticed the first one about two weeks ago and they are spreading quite rapidly on my stomach and back. Did you ever find out what was wrong? Any info would be quite helpful. They are starting to freak me out.

I have them
Ive had the same spots for a little over a month. Mine spread rapidly after the 3 week to cover my chest, ab, back and start to move down my arms and legs. My doc appointment is friday, got sick of hearing I've never seen this before from others.

Please post what they say. I went to the doctor and he said to try steroid cream, but that he really didn't know what was wrong.

I have it too.
I have very similiar spots on my upper body. I've been researching on the internet and have come up with a guess. What I have, and possibly you too is a case on ringworm. Ringworm is really a form of jockitch, theres not really any worm involved. I'm trying topical anti-fungals that would be used for atheletes foot/jockitch/ringworm. Take a look in that direction on the internet to see if this appears to be what you have. It's too soon to tell if my treatment is right.

Those photos look an awful lot like guttate psoriasis. Steroid cream might work well.
