Dry, Itchy, Raised Patches On Body, Increasing In Number

Hi there, I've been having random dry itchy patches on my body. 1st one was a few weeks ago on my legs. Looked like a ring worm, itchy but not irritating. Soon after I noticed burnt like itchy patches on my torso. They are dark at times very itchy/raised. They are increasing in numbers and I am concerned. I am not using any new shower gels/body creams. Please help.
Thank you in advance.
