What Is Pityriasis Rosea?
5. Itching
The condition will pass with treatment in the vast majority of cases, with the patient making a full recovery. However, people with dark skin will sometimes find that they have dark spots on their skin that remain after the rash has cleared up. Some people will develop pityriasis rosea gigantea, which is when the patches will grow to be even larger than usual.
Complications might also arise because the rash can be so itchy. Scratching at the rash with nails can cause the skin to be broken, and this has the potential to cause infections. Such skin infections should be fairly easy to treat, but treatment should be found as soon as possible to help prevent them from becoming serious.
