Brief Answer: Pityriasis rosea Detailed Answer: Hi I have seen the attached pictures. The rash that you have is pityriasis rosea. Now this is basically a self limiting type of skin diseases It can cause development of round to oval red skin lesions over mainly the trunk, upper arms and thighs. Now the important thing is that it is a self limiting disease. This means that there can be development of New lesions till six to eight weeks . The skin lesions tend to appear in crops. These can sometimes be associated with itching. But these lesions are non contagious. The lesions will heal themselves in the above mentioned time. Now only if the lesions are symptomatic, that is, if there is any associated discomfort or itching, then you can apply a topical steroid cream containing cortisone over the lesions twice a day. If there is no itching, then you can leave the lesions as such. These take time to completely heal and will do so by themselves. Just make sure you do not apply any irritants over them in the form of dettol or savlon. Hope it helps Please ask if you have any other query Dr Geetika Paul
