Pityriasis rosea: two cases with uncommon presentations of common disease

Pityriasis rosea (PR) is an acute, self-limited papulosquamous dermatosis localized on the trunk and extremities, that affects otherwise healthy adolescents and young adults. Although the classic presentation is readily recognized, atypical forms may present a challenge. Many atypical forms of the disease have been reported in the literature.[1]We report two cases with atypical features. Involvement of nail folds and web spaces of hands was seen in one case while vesicles on the erythematous base were seen in other.
