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.
No treatment is usually required. In most patients, the condition lasts only a matter of weeks or months(upto six months).In severe cases,topical steroids and UV therapy may be needed.Also use soap and cosmetics minimally and use good quality hypoallergenic moisturizers to combat dryness.
Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing.Kind regards.
