What Could Red Bumps Around Pityriasis Rosea Rashes Indicate?

Hi, I have a rash on my arms and neck. It was diagnosed as pityriasis rosea. I have had it for almost one year now and it is still not going away. Just recently little red bumps have also appeared besides the round reddish flakey rashes. What could this be? SHould I be worried?

Hi,

Pityriasis rosea usually does not last more than a month. It could be tinea infection also. You do not need be worried as both the conditions are curable. I would request you to kindly visit your nearby dermatologist and to confirm the diagnosis and to initiate treatment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
