Is this Pityriasis Rosea?

I got these around 9 months ago around the hips, now i have it on my hips again, inner thighs, and arms. The doctor said it was Pityriasis Rosea but rashes keep popping up. (inner thighs rash is recent)
Attached some pictures. (One attached, can't attached more so I uploaded it on ImageShack)

Hello,
From the pictures it looks like pityraisis versicolor. It is a common skin infection caused by the yeast Malassezia furfur. This skin disease commonly affects adolescents and young adults, especially in warm and humid climates. Treatment involves topical and oral antifungal medicines.

You can try over the counter antifungal products which contain any of several basic ingredients: miconazole, tolnaftate, terbinafine,ketaconazole and clotrimazole.You can consult a pharmacist and get any cream or lotion containing these ingredients. Some of them are Lamisil, Monistat derm, Mycelex, and Nizoral.

If the symptoms persist then it will be best to get it evaluated from a dermatologist.

Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional doubts. Kind regards.
