raised red circles
by winnie7391, Sep 13, 2009 03:59PM
My 19 year old daughter has these red raised circles on her upper body. Stomach, back, arms, chest, neck. They do not itch. The doctor said it was a fungus. After she has had one for sometime, it turns really white. Almost like the skin that peels off from a sun burn. The worst are on her arms from her shoulders to her elbows.

Without examination,confirmation of a diagnosis is tough but it can be pityriasis rosea or pityriasis versicolor.
Pityriasis rosea is a common human skin disease which presents as numerous patches of pink or red oval rash. The rash may be accompanied by low-grade headache, fever, nausea and fatigue and sometimes by itching.
No treatment is usually required. In most patients, the condition lasts only a matter of weeks or months (upto six months)
If the rash persists then it will be best to get it evaluated from a dermatologist. Other possibilities have to be ruled out then.
I hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted in case you have any additional doubts. Kind regards.
