Hello. Thank you for writing to us
I am dr.kakkar, dermatologist. I have gone through your query and I havs reviewed the image.
I can see multiple, dry, red patches.
I would keep a possibility of pityriasis rosea and I suggest you to use a moderately potent topical steroid cream e.g mometasone furoate 0.1% cream, 2x daily for a few days.
Regards
