Pityriasis rosea is a skin rash that develops as a large oval spot on the chest, abdomen, or back followed by smaller lesions. It is caused due to viral infections. It occurs commonly between age groups of 10 to 35 years. It goes on its own within ten weeks. In severe cases, it is treated by taking antihistamines, Triamcinolone ointment, and UVB (ultraviolet B) phototherapy.
