Rapidly developing nummular lesions, look most like cigarette burns. Very itchy. Went from zero to 7 lesions on both arms in less than 12 hours. First lesions appeared 6 days ago. Next crop arose 4 days after the first. More new ones arrived today. Sizes 2 mm up to 13 mm. Two have a white halo surrounding the lesion. Lesions are raised with a red rim and scaling, flatter center. Patient is 14 y. o.
History suggests a condition called pityriasis rosea. Kindly consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. It is a harmless condition and might heal without any treatment. However you may take treatment. Mild steroid cream application for the few weeks might improve.
I hope this would help you. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Thanks, Dr. Ilyas Patel, MD
