Pityriasis rosea is a self-limiting rash that can occur both in adults and in children. Pityriasis rosea is more common in children and young adults. It is most common in people aged between 10 and 35 years. It is more common in the spring and autumn months. Unfortunately, having pityriasis rosea during the first 15 weeks of pregnancy is associated with miscarriage and preterm delivery.
