In this episode:

  • Pityriasis Rosea is a self-limiting, post-viral rash; an important differential diagnosis is guttate psoriasis
  • Itch associated with Pityriasis Rosea is variable. If the rash or itch is distressing, it will respond to narrowband UV therapy
  • Pityriasis Versicolor comes as a winter or summer rash
  • Winter hyperpigmented lesions of Pityriasis Versicolor respond to oral Diflucan for a short course then monthly to prevent recurrences
  • Summer hypopigmented lesions of Pityriasis Versicolor will need UV exposure for pigmentation to be restored, either in sunlight or by narrowband UVB therapy
