I'm wondering what these round reddish patches are on my body, been present for a few days and slowly getting bigger but not itchy. more have appeared?

Get seen: You're describing a macular or papular rash -- it's best if you get seen. If you're taking any new medications -- including "holistic natural healing medicines" -- stop them if at all possible, and get with your personal physician. Rashes can get serious all-of-a-sudden.
