I have a pink rash about 1 1/2 inches in length and width. It rarely itches and it s kinda dry, flakey skin. I have no other symptoms but it s been there for about a month or two. It doesn t bother me.much besides when it itches every once in a while.

Hello,
Thanks for the query,
You might be suffering from psoriasis.
A chronic plaque psoriasis presents in this way.
Your description matches with it.
It is an autoimmune disease.
Treatment is with steroids and emollients.
The plaque will keep remitting and reappearing.
A photograph would have helped me in giving a closer diagnosis.
Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.
