Hi everyone, I had a rash come up about 3 days ago, the red areas are dry and a little bit flaky. Can anyone identify what type of rash this is? All the best. image

    Hard to say but looks fungal so perhaps pityriasis versicolor.

    You could be allergic to detergent. If you find you are use All Clear in laundry. Could be other soap.

    Should go see dermatologist

    I myself would try bendril and wash something to wear in just water and wear that for a night if it goes away quickly its detergent.

    Wash pillow and sheets in water too.

    not generally responsible to diagnose skin issues from pics. if this has been a long term issue a derm would take a skin sample for correct diagnosis. could be dry skin usually in winters.in the mean time take allergy meds to control itching. soak in epsom salts baths. keep moisturized with good quality no additives and anti itch moisturizing creams are very helpful.
