Pityriasis Rosea T2 The Color Atlas of Family Medicine, 2e YR 2013 FD 2013 PB The McGraw-Hill Companies PP New York, NY SN 978-0-07-176964-8 LK accessmedicine.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=57680273 RD 2024/10/06 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.
