چکیده
Pityriasis rosea (PR) is a common skin eruption in children that is characterized by a single skin patch that usually evolves into a widespread exanthem after one week. The duration of PR is typically six weeks and the condition is selflimited with excellent prognosis. The diagnosis is established by proper history taking and physical examination of the skin lesions. Laboratory investigations are generally not helpful in the evaluation of the child with PR. Symptomatic treatment with anti-pruritus medications is the mainstay of treatment.
