Confused about my diagnosis

I'm 45 and have been suffering with this condition since the age of 7, it appeared one summer and kept coming back every summer each time worse than the year before, only thing is that although my dermatologist has said it looks identical to pityriasis rosea the fact that it comes in the summer rather than winter and isn't confined to my torso, more on my hands feet legs chest neck and top of my head has stumped her, does any one else get it in these places and in the summer rather than the typical winter? Also mine doesn't so much itch but feels like I'm being burnt with a lit cigarette.imageimageimage
