Hi,cassie,I think you need to visit your doctor.First of all for diagnosis and then treatment.This is a infective condition and will keep spreading if not treated.Maintain a good hygiene,drink more of fluids,avoid any lotion or cream on the spots.Do not scratch then other wise they will leave ugly marks after them.bye and take care.
