Abstract

Pityriasis rosea (PR) is a dermatological disorder seen commonly in clinical practice. Despite its prevalence and benign nature, there are still times when this common disorder presents in an uncommon way or course posing diagnostic or management problems for the physician. The etiopathogenesis of PR has always been a dilemma, and extensive research is going on to elicit the exact cause. This review and case report focus mainly on the difficult aspects of this benign common disorder such as etiopathogenesis, atypical manifestations, recurrent cases, differential diagnosis and treatment.
