Blotches On Middle Of Upper Back, Spreading, Wrinkles In Skin, Itching. Cure For Symptoms?

Hi, I have recently gotten these red blotches in the middle of my upper back and have spread to my chest area. It had been about a week or two. Now I am noticing them in my pubic area. Only around the front. On the spots on my back, I noticed (in the light glare) that the skin seems to be wrinkled. Also they only itch for about a second when I first notice them, and usually don't itch after that. They seem to have a.goldish, or lighter center, but do not.resemble ringworm
