What kind of disease is a contagious zit on your mid calf?

Q: I had a zit that was about 75% white head on my mid to upper calf. I didnt pop it because i wrestle and i figured it might be ringworm. Later today a 2nd zit appeared in the same area on my other leg. I think that the zit might hav rubbed against that part of my leg and spread it. I currently have ringworm cream on it and hav it wrapped. Is this some type of ringworm? staph? impetago? or just a random zit alignment?
