Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi,

History suggests a condition called pityriasis rosea. Kindly consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. It is a harmless condition and might heal without any treatment. However you may take treatment. Mild steroid cream application for the few weeks might improve.

I hope this would help you. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Thanks,
Dr. Ilyas Patel, MD
