Detailed Answer:
Hellp. Thank you for writing to us.

I have gone through your query and I have also reviewed the image.

I suggest a possibility of Pityriasis Rosea which can present like this. The distribution is very much suggestive of pityriasis rosea.

I suggest you to use a moderately potent topical steroid e.g triamcinolone actonide 0.1% cream Or mometasone furoate 0.1% cream, twice daily.
