Eraser sized circles on Chest

I have a dozen eraser sized circles on chest and now on neck. They are pinkish, not raised, don't itch. Have a dry skin appearance. They are multiplying slowly. Any ideas on what they are??

Hello,
For such symptoms pityriasis rosea should be ruled out.
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.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
