Hello theaCat 
to Psoriasis Club.
It's so difficult to tell without actually seeing it, I have also heard of GPs mistaking it for ringworm before but like Jim said it's best to get a proper diagnoses as the wrong treatment could make psoriasis worse.
For me your description "They are all the same perfectly round about a dime in circumference, last about 2-3 weeks then reduce in size and itch" Just doesn't sound right to me for psoriasis.
But I could be wrong as there are so many different types of psoriasis, so have a look at the links Jim gave you above but also have a look at this thread that may offer some help: Types Of Psoriasis Explained
Maybe another member may know more, but please do report back as your information could help others.
Regards.
Fred.
