Pityriasis rosea (PR) and PR-like eruptions were recently reported to increase in coronavirus cases. Aim: To evaluate and review the literature on PR and PR-like eruption associated with Covid-19 disease. Case Report: A 24-year-old female patient presented with a history of asymptomatic PR-like eruption that started during infection with the Pityriasis rosea is an acute self-limiting papulo-squamous skin disorder of unknown aetiology. Its occurrence is ubiquitous. In different studies the incidence of pityriasis rosea was recorded to be between 0.39-4.80 per 100 dermatology patients [1,2]. Though self-limiting by 3-6 weeks, the clinical course in some patients may be prolonged over Pityriasis rosea is occasionally itchy. The first sign of pityriasis rosea is the herald patch; a single scaly round to oval patch 2-10 cm in diameter. Up to 2 weeks after the herald patch appears, a more widespread rash develops comprised of small oval patches with fine scale usually ranging in size up to 1.5 cm. Pityriasis rosea (pictured) causes a red skin rash that is scaly and can look like guttate psoriasis. This skin rash is common in children and young adults. especially during times of stress Pityriasis rosea tends to occur in young adults, though it can occur in school-aged children. Multiple herald patches may form, even in childhood cases of pityriasis rosea. Clinicians must be aware of this possibility, despite its infrequent occurrence. In all cases, if no itching is present, no treatment may be required. Pityriasis rosea is a self-limiting skin condition that presents as discrete scaly papules and plaques along the Langer lines (cleavage lines) over the trunk and limbs. This generalized rash is Pityriasis rosea typically begins with a large, slightly raised, scaly patch called the herald patch. There is a problem with information submitted for this request.

Guttate psoriasis has similar features to plaque psoriasis in that it manifests in a sudden flare of erythematous (red) rash covered in scales. But, unlike plaque psoriasis, the rash isn't very thick and tends to be separate rather than clustered. Guttate psoriasis manifests with the eruption of dozens or even hundreds of small The cause of PR is unknown but many dermatologists hypothesize that it is caused by a virus with Human Herpesvirus 6 (HHV 6) and Human Herpesvirus 7 (HHV 7) as the primary suspects. The viral etiology is supported by the fact that some patients experience a mild viral like prodrome prior to the rash appearing and some studies have revealed HHV Not directly: We are uncertain of the cause and theories speculate it may be a reaction to a viral infection. In terms of stress being a functional immunosuppressant, it may increase your chance of pityriasis, however there is no causal role that has been shown.
