Pityriasis Rosea is a skin condition causing scaly and itchy kind of skin rashes. When the disease develops, first we will be seeing patches somewhere on the body, but there won’t be any kind of itchy rashes or anything in the early days. Only after some 1-2 weeks, there would be itchy skin rashes but this time it would be spread all over the body.
As you might be already knowing it is a self limiting skin disease. For the same reason, even if you are not going for any treatment methods, the disease will be getting healed without the need of any efforts from our side. This skin disease is found generally in people of the age group 10-45. But it can also be occurring in other younger ones and older ones as well.
The primary cause for this skin disease is believed to be Herpes virus type 7. The symptoms of this virus is same as that of the skin disease about which are discussing here. For the same reason we can conclude that it is the primary cause for the skin condition. As mentioned earlier, there would be single herald skin patches in the body.
And after it occurs, rashes will be popping throughout the body in like 10-15 days. The herald patch is also called as mother patch which will be of 2-3 cm and will be in reddish like color. So, if you are seeing these symptoms, then you can make sure that the disease is Pityriasis Rosea and should be following the right kind of treatment methods as soon as possible.
The rashes will be of the same color as that of the mother patch. They would be pretty small in the early stages, but gradually will become enlarged and would be looking similar to an oval shaped thing. The rashes would be looking similar to that of Christmas tree distribution and the such. Itching is normally not that severe in most of the patients of Pityriasis Rosea.
