“I am not sure if this is ringworms or not”
I’ve gotten this about 10 days ago, skin now is scaly and extremely itchy. I have one on my back and one on my arm. Hair still grows inside so I’m not sure if this is ringworms or not. Picture one (a week ago) it was red, second picture dry and scaly

Your rash could be ringworm, but it may also be eczema, psoriasis, or an allergic reaction.
Signs of Ringworm:
Red, circular rash with a clear center
Itchy, scaly, and flaky skin
Usually no hair growth inside the ring
What to Do:
Try antifungal cream (clotrimazole or terbinafine)
Keep the area clean and dry
Avoid scratching to prevent spreading
Wash bedding and clothes regularly
See a Doctor If:
It does not improve in two weeks
It spreads, worsens, or has pus
You have pain, fever, or swelling
A doctor can confirm if it is ringworm or something else.

I am sorry but I don't see any photos. Could you attach?
The only wat to properly diagnose a skin condition is for you to see the doctor.
