Brief Answer:
Self limiting skin condition
Detailed Answer:
Hi again
I have seen the attached pictures.
Although the picture quality is not great ,but from what I could make out,you seem to have developed lesions of pityriasis rosea .
This is basically a self limiting skin condition which presents with development of round to oval red slightly scaly lesions especially over the trunk .
Adequate moisturiser application is required in this case .
You can check out pictures of this condition on Internet for confirmation .
Hope it helps

Self limiting
Detailed Answer:
Hi again
Adequate moisturiser application is the only thing required .
Topicsl steroid application is needed only in cases with severe itching .
No other treatment is required in most cases .
The lesions might increase for the next four to six weeks and then will heal by themselves .
Hope it helps
