 Hello,I am fairly certain these are of pityriasis rosea after having looked at the photo.These rashes appear first along side the rib border and can spread.The first bigger one is known as herald patch.These are generally non itchy.Cause is uncertain but virus is implicated.Does not spread easily though to others.Self limiting it is and resolves in a couple of weeks.
Do consult your doctor.Best wishes.

 Hi,
Shows how the morphology of a skin lesion is of paramount importance in diagnosing skin lesions(apart from the experience of a clinician, which also counts!).
Good day!

Thanks Dr.Aroon for your observations.The dermatologist is lucky in that he can see the lesions and interpret while other specialities need more than this!Good wishes.
