hi i'm hoping someone can help, after being misdiagnosed three times, i now believe that i have pityriasis rosea. The only problem at present is that some of the symptoms described by others do not seem to match what is happening to me.

i have about three seperately located herald patches or what i believe to be herald patches on my chest, fore arm right next to my wrist and top part of my other arm. a couple of small red lumps have appeared but only about 5. is it possible to have more than one herald patch appear?

any help would be greatly appreciated just so i can know what it is thats happening.
