How are you? Did this started as a rash that started with a single scaly, red and slightly itchy spot? This could be due to a lot of things. Patches of the rash, which could be tan or red may be pityriasis rosea. This usually lasts 1 to 3 months and usually never comes back. The cause of pityriasis rosea is uncertain.but some believed that this is caused by a viral or bacterial infection. If this persists and other symptoms appear, it would be good to see your doctor for proper evaluation. Take care ad keep us posted.
