Avatar n tn A few days ago I was really feeling down - not sick but exhausted. I believe I have a "Herald's Patch" on my lower back. It seems like this rash is Pityriasis Rosea Initially it just itched like crazy but now it's about the size of a quarter and is scaly. Since then I have been getting bumps all over my body that itch and itch. What can I do to help this? Do I need to see a dermatologist or is that a waste of time? How do I stop it from spreading?
Avatar n tn Hello, You need to get this rash examined from a dermatologist and get a biopsy skin done. It can be due to pityriasis rosea. Pityriasis rosea is a common human skin disease which presents as numerous patches of pink or red oval rash. The rash may be accompanied by low-grade headache, fever, nausea and fatigue and sometimes by itching. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.

Avatar f tn my son has had Pityriasis rosea for a year, he is VERY healthy and is very active and drinks water...he is only 14 and i dont understand why it wont go away.. is it contractible?
Avatar n tn I am a 28 year old male. A few years ago I was diagnosed with Pityriasis Rosea and I took some prescribed cream to clear it up. I've cleared it but it comes back, it seems, once per year. This time when it came back, I didn't bother treating it as I never feel itchy and the only symptoms are visual. I have also noticed this time that I have a red texture on my penis head. Could this also be a spreading of Pityriasis Rosea on the penis head or related some how?
Avatar n tn i am a 21 yr old male. i have Pityriasis Rosea. i was told by my doctor it would go away by itself in 3-6 months. however, it has now been approx. 1 yr since i first noticed it. the rash is on my chest, stomach(incl. lower stomach/upper groin (not genital)). it is also on my back. i do not have any on the palms of my hand and soles of my feet. the rash sometimes gets worse (redder, more itchy) after excersizing or after drinking alcohol.

Avatar f tn I was diagnosed with Pityriasis Rosea about 6 wks ago, so I looked up all the signs and symptoms. My hesitancy with accepting this diagnosis: I didn't have a herald patch, my age is out of the normal range to get this (54), there is no itching, it has not spread, and the lesions are not all oval or round. All the lesions showed up at the same time on one day. They haven't multiplied, but they have gotten larger and some have spread into each other.
Avatar f tn It looks different from my typical allergy, dry skin, razor rash skin reaction. It feels and looks similar to the pityriasis rosea I had seven years ago-- but the dots are not in oval patterns. I know a second occurence of pityriasis rosea is atypical and non-oval shapes are atypical; however, I am guessing that the rash on the back of my neck could of been a undefined herald patch. There is no redness around "spots"-- spots are defined and red to purplish red to brownish skin color.
Avatar f tn Are they a little scaling? I had this break out of oval, pink, scalie things that started on my shoulder & worked it's way down to my belly. They covered my tourso from tops of my shoulders to just above my thighs on the front & back. This lasted about 3 weeks until they finally went away. It was pityriasis rosea. Google it & see if that's what you may have. It will go away with no treatment. Hope that helps.
Avatar f tn About a month ago I started breaking out in a rash that spread over my body. I was referred to a dermatologist who quickly diagnosed me with pityriasis rosea. I've noticed that I also some spots on my palms and have started to worry as I've read this could be a sign of secondary syphilis.I do not have any spots on my soles. I'm a gay male. I do not have unprotected penetrative sex but have had oral sex. I was last tested for HIV in April and tested negative.
Avatar m tn at first, after research, I self diagnosed it as pityriasis rosea since i was accompanied by flu-like symptoms for about a month.. but that has subsided, but the spots are still there. Its very embarrassing and anything ive tried hasn't seemed to make any improvement.
