See dermatologist: Pityriasis Rosea usually involves the trunk and has a particular appearance of lesions. Once in a while, it might only involve the groin area. It usually is not contagious and generally occurs only once. See dermatologist for confirmation and poss tx if necessary. PR usually resolves on its own within several weeks.
