Overview

Management of pityriasis rosea, a common acute inflammatory condition typically following viral infection. It presents with a herald patch followed by a generalized papulosquamous eruption on the trunk and proximal extremities arranged in Langer's lines. We provide reassurance about the self-limited nature while managing symptoms through topical corticosteroids, phototherapy, antihistamines, and sometimes systemic antibiotics. Secondary bacterial infection is prevented through patient education on proper skin care. We distinguish from other conditions like secondary syphilis and psoriasis. Most cases resolve spontaneously within 6-8 weeks. We manage associated pruritus and provide cosmetic coverage options if needed.
