Hi I have this mainly front trunk rash
(papulosquamous lesions- please see,

that got worse recently guess due to autoinoculation-
-wiped  torso and hands with dilluted alcohol  and it spread from waist up and on insides of hands however none on palms
As I remember it did not start on waist area but with a patch above armpit
(please see http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/7295/0905101919.jpg)
It  itches a bit when hot/sweaty so i suspect infectious rashes as:
Tinea corporis,Pityriasis rosea,(Candida ruled out-it has no sharp border, no central clearing and no
satellite lesions),Lichen Planus,molluscum contagiosum(unlikely because spots are tiny and not dimpled in the middle),herpes(probably not-no blisters),norwegian scabies, beta hemolytic streptococcus and maybe psoriasis
Thanks for any ideas

Hello,
From the symptoms the possibilities of pityriasis rosea and hives   need to be ruled out. In pityriasis rosea, initially, a primary plaque, called a herald patch, is seen. Then it is followed by a distinctive, generalized rash 1-2 weeks later. The rash lasts approximately 2-6 weeks and is found in a Christmas tree pattern over the trunk and abdomen. It presents as numerous patches of pink or red oval rash. The rash may be accompanied by low-grade headache, fever, nausea and fatigue and sometimes by itching.

Please get an evaluation done from a dermatologist to confirm the diagnosis.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your dermatologist. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.

Thanks dermatologist said lichen planus neglecting the ongoing beta strep infection and the fact that it looks nothing like http://img510.imageshack.us/img510/7167/lichen.jpg (but as http://img839.imageshack.us/img839/8963/p1010266n.jpg)
and prescribed glucocorticoid and a gentamycin mix(which was tryed with no success prior to visit),I suspect still guttate psoriasis and granuloma anulare
