What is this?

I woke up with a bunch of blotches on me. I am 21 and male. Sex-free and i don't do drugs.

Here is a picture of my case

They don't itch too much but they are annoying. Theres 1 under each armit, 3 on my back, 2 on my foot, about 5 on my legs and about 5 on my stomach. I'm starting to think its either bug bites or ringworm because it will spread if I shower. The big one on my back though (right picture) is different from the rest. I feel fine though. Please help! Thank you!

Hi,
This seems to be an outbreak of hives.Hives is an allergic skin reaction causing localized redness, swelling, and itching.Hives is a reaction of the body's immune system that causes areas of the skin to swell, itch, and become reddened (wheals). When the reaction is limited to small areas of the skin, it is called "urticaria."
A wide variety of substances may cause hives in sensitive people, including foods, drugs, and insect bites or stings.
Hives can appear anywhere on the body, cropping up either in one small area or covering large patches of skin.Although hives can be highly uncomfortable to have, they are relatively harmless. Hives usually appear suddenly and go away on their own in a matter of days, hours, or even minutes.
Comfort is the main goal of treatment, since most hive outbreaks are relatively minor and short-lived. To soothe itchy skin, try cold compresses, calamine lotion, a cool shower, or a tepid bath with a few tablespoons of cornstarch. Try an over-the-counter antihistamine to reduce your body's response to the irritant and to relieve pain.
