The spots scaly: The spots have a find flake on them you could have a superficial fungus infection that is not contagious. Other than that i cannot make a diagnosis you need to be seen by a dermatologist if you can.

Cannot diagnose this: Identification of the spots requires an exam. Suggest you shower every day and see what happens.
