A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pityriasis rosea: We aren't sure what causes pityriasis rosea. Unlike many other skin conditions, it is not an allergic reaction or caused by a fungus or bacteria. It may be caused by a virus. Pityriasis rosea resolves away without treatment. It usually lasts about 6 to 8 weeks.
