Red scaly patches on body
About a month ago my wife developed a large circular scaly patch on her calf. She eventually developed similar small spots all over her body that are itchy. I have read that could be a million things from pithyrias rosea to syphillis. She and i are both going nuts and need some information. I have no symptoms whatsover and would like an opinion.
Thanks,
Thanks,
Dr said it was pithyrasis rosea. It will go away on its own. I guess it's very common.
