What is pityriasis rosea?
Pityriasis rosea is a non-contagious, potentially itchy rash that is most common among teens and young adults. It starts as a dry, oval 'herald' patch on the back, chest, or abdomen, and later spreads out in smaller, oval patches. The exact cause is unknown, but it could be viral.
