Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi,

The rash could be a pityriasis versicolor. But, your description is not adequate enough to tell that this is the final diagnosis. You could take an antihistamine tablet and apply an antifungal cream for a week. if your rash does not improve, you should consult your dermatologist for further management.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Siva Subramanian,
