Best guess is fungus: Skin fungus infections such as "ringworm" present as you describe. Consider obtaining an OTC fungicide--ask your pharmacist--and treating half of the lesions, say on the right side, and then compare effect over the next ten days. Alternatively see a physician or consult a Healthtap physician with photographs showing the extent as well as several close ups for detail.
