pityriasis rosea


A mild exanthematous inflammation of unknown aetiology. It is characterised by the presence of salmon-coloured maculopapular lesions. The most striking feature is the arrangement of the lesions such that the long axis is parallel to the lines of cleavage. The eruptions are usually generalised, affecting chiefly the trunk, and the course is often self-limiting.
