Brief Answer:
Pityriasis roseae

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query.
Probably you have developed pityriasis roseae.
It's an allergic reaction.
I treat such cases with a mild topical steroid cream like cortisone twice daily for a week.
This gives good response.
It is safe and effective and usually available over the counter.
If possible upload a photograph of the involved area.
This will help me in giving a closer diagnosis and better way of management.
Waiting for your response.
Thank you.
