I started having a small area of pink "dry skin".. it feels like dry skin but it kind of looks like a small rash.
The one on my neck is fading but now I see the same thing on my stomach.
It doesn't itch. I have no clue what it could be other than dry skin. But why would it be so small?

It sounds like Pityriasis rosea. Pityriasis rosea is a common dry, flaky pink rash that appears on the neck, chest, stomach, back, arms and legs. The rash often requires no treatment and it will gradually fade away by itself. However, it can be treated with anti-itch medications, oral antihistamines lotions and steroid creams. I recommend that you see a doctor for a proper diagnosis and treatment options.
