AB  - A  17-year-old  young  woman  is  brought  to  the  office  by  her  mom  because  of  a  rash  that  appeared  3  weeks  ago  for  no  apparent  reason  (Figures  153-1,  153-2,  and  153-3).  She  was  feeling  well  and  the  rash  is  only  occasionally  pruritic.  With  and  without  mom  in  the  room,  the  young  woman  denied  sexual  activity.  The  diagnosis  of  pityriasis  rosea  was  made  by  the  clinical  appearance  even  though  there  was  no  obvious  herald  patch.  The  collarette  scale  was  visible  and  the  distribution  was  consistent  with  pityriasis  rosea.  The  young  woman  and  her  mom  were  reassured  that  this  would  resolve  spontaneously.  At  a  subsequent  visit  for  a  college  physical  the  skin  was  found  to  be  completely  clear  with  no  scarring.
