The rash is made up of flat pink splodges - not big, about the size of insect bites. It is only on my truck - in fact, where my ribs are, as it extends round my sides, but there isn't any on my abdomen. It doesn't hurt and isn't itchy, but looks a bit oddd - I don't tend to get skin irritations and have no allergies I am aware of.
Any ideas what it could be ?

Sounds like Pityriasis Rosea (spelling?) I had this 10 years ago started on trunk then got a few blotched on arms . Doesn't tend to spread to face.
Went to Docs she got very excited and pointed out the "herald spot" a really big blotch on trunk which was apparently the first one. It is a virus , completely harmless doesn't itch or hurt and disappears overnight in about 6 weeks.
