flat non itchy red spots on breast

[daisydog1970]

Hi 3 weeks ago I developed 2 flat bruise like blotches the size of a penny on the side of my right breast they do not itch or hurt and are not scaly or flaky I went to the dr in a panic and she said it was an irritation from my bra since then the spots have turned a light pink but are still there and I have been to 3 drs since I have gotten a mammogram and an ultrasound on the area and all were fine the last dr I saw was a breast surgeon and he gave me an antifungel cream and told me to come back in 3 weeks I have been on the meds for 3 days now with no sign of change....does anyone know what this could be and should I be worried?

Hello,
The symptoms are suggestive of pityriasis rosea. 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 itching. Topical and oral steroids are needed. Water, sweat, and soap may cause irritation and should be avoided in the disease. Topical zinc oxide and calamine lotion are useful for pruritus.

I hope it helps. Take care and regards.

Possibly 'Pityriasis rosea' and should settle in a couple of weeks..
