There are many reasons why red spots appear on your skin. Pityriasis rosea, acne, atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, petechiae, and rash are the most common causes. It can be difficult to know that there are so many possible reasons, so let’s break them down.
Pityriasis rosea
Pityriasis rosea is usually a single red spot that is seen for one to two weeks. Depending on your skin tone, the plaque can range from pink to pink.
After the original patch, other spots will appear on your trunk, arms, thighs, and neck. These new patches, called daughter patches, are smaller and oval in shape than their original patches. Patches caused by pityriasis rosea can last up to ten weeks.
