Q: Help! Is This Ringworm? *pics Inside*

About a week ago I noticed a small red blotch of skin on my chest, then slowly more started poppuing up, and now after about a week it looks like this:



they didn't itch at first, but now a couple slightly itch and two or three have small red bumps on the side.






I don't know what to do. I don't have medical insurance so I can't go to the dermatologist. I did research but I can't figure out if this is "eczema" or "ringworm" or something else. I saw a ton of people saying to put nail polish over it to suffocate it and that usually cleared it up in a few days. I tried that yesterday, but it doesn't look to have gotten any better, I did another coat today. I know it sounds crazy, but that's what alot of people said to do and I have no idea what else to do.






Need help please!






Thank you.

Ringworm
It is hard to tell without seeing any photos. I found a great article on ringworm though at skincare-news.Com. Check it out and let me know if it will help: http://www.Skincare-news.Com/articles.Php? Artid=22.

Also, check out the american academy of dermatology's site http://www.Aad.Org for photos of skin diseases.

I had 1 spot like a week ago, now I have like 35. They are mostly red dots ( not raised ), a few slightly resemble rings and are bigger, and a few of the bigger ones have red elevated dots in them. Is it true that ringworm glows under a black light? Because whatever I hve doesn't. I need help!
