This rash appeared and disappeared suddenly.

It appeared in multiple locations on the body, chest arms, leg, stomach, etc. I am worried it may be an indicator of an underlying disease. The hospital simply said 'oh it doesnt look life threatening so we dont care'. Im desperately seeking answers. If anyone can find any reported similar rashes in the history of humans I'd be ever so thankful!

      No those are moles in the background, the red area is the rash. It appeared in multiple places with identical patterns. I did a sketch of the rash - https://ibb.co/GvJ9gmC

    Looks like the dark form of pityriasis versicolor. You could try treating with Alpecin anti-dandruff shampoo to kill the yeast.

      I did a sketch of the rash, it appeared in multiple places with identical patterns. I googled pityriasis versicolor and I did not see any patterns like the one I showed. I did a sketch of the rash that appeared its almost like a shoeprint pattern. I can not find any historical medical reports of any rashes like it. https://ibb.co/GvJ9gmC

      Yes and I would still say Pityriasis versicolor. The streaks look yeast like.
