What Causes Skin Rashes On Torso And Back?

Hi, I have a skin rash on my torso and back. I went to a free health clinic and since it was a rash they had to look at me right away to see that I wasn't contageous to other patients. The doctor quickly said it was tinea, isn't that ringworm? I didn't want to wait 3 hours so I left and will go back later. To me it looks more like pityriasis rosea by researching online. They are small patches that arent perfectly circular and not evenly distributed on my stomach and back, some larger than others, no more than a cintemeter or 2 in size. They don't itch. Am I wrong to rule out ringworm, I know what that looks like and it's definately not ringworm.
