A member asked:
How did i get pityriasis rosea ? why isn't there more research about this? i had it twice in 6 months!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unknown: Fortunately this problem usually resolves on its own. It is not known why it occurs but there seems to be a relationship with a prior viral illness. As to why there is not more research... My guess would be that since this usually resolves on its own it has not received the attention other problems have.
