Is Pityriasis Rosea, Related With Rashes On Abdomen And Arms?

Hi, I have a rash that started about 6 weeks ago that started as a single oval spot on my abdomen opposite the appendix that is red and scaly but does not itch. It was followed by more smaller spots mostly on stomach and chest but also on back, arms, and legs. I believe it is pityriasis rosea but would like a second opinion!?

this may help you.
