1. Pityriasis Rosea

Pityriasis rosea is a skin condition that is typified by a distinctive rash that then develops into another type of rash. People of any age can be infected by it, but it is most commonly found in people between the ages of 10 and 35. It is only a mild condition, and will pass within 10 weeks or so having done no permanent damage.

Pityriasis rosea is a relatively common condition, although it is sometimes mistaken for another skin condition known as pityriasis versicolor. Despite the two having similar symptoms, the two are caused by different things. There is no known cure for the condition, but it will disappear on its own with no permanent damage done.
