Hi
Welcome to ask a doctor service
I have gone through your query and reviewed the attached photographs.
It seems to be either a fungal infection or pityriasis rosea which is a rash associated with a viral infection.
I need to ask you few questions:
Is this rash associated with itching or burning ?
Do you have history of fever, sore throat, cough, loose stools prior to the eruption of this rash?
Do you have any ailments or taking any medicines?
Kindly revert with the answers.

it appeared after going to my grandpas house, he has both bed bugs and fleas so at first i thought it was due to an allergic reaction causing minor hives. it doesnt itch unless i touch it and i havent had a cough or fever or anything like that recently. what would be the cure for these things?
Brief Answer:
Topical steroid, moisturizing lotion
Detailed Answer:
I would recommend you to apply a topical steroid like clobetasol propionate cream diluted in moisturizing lotion on the affected areas in the ratio of 1:3 twice daily for 2 weeks.
Steroidal preparations are prescription and you need to see the doctor in person to get them.
This show improve it.
