Hi,

Not to worry... I had it when I was in high school. It was really strange... began with this scaly rash on my arm (it's called the "herald patch") followed by a weird rash appearing randomly on my body. Dermatologist took one look at it and diagnosed it as P. Rosea. I got some cream for the rash, but she said that since it's a virus it just has to run its course. It's not harmful, but I know it is annoying. But just like she had said it was fully gone within a week or two. And once you get it you won't get it again.

They have the shortest office visits of any doctor. Once your clothes are off they look for a few seconds, diagnose, prescribe a treatment (assuming they don't have to biopsy or excise your lesion), and send you a nice bill . . . what a racket!

OMG, I think I might have this. I've been getting itchy spots on my arms, legs and stomach that look a lot like this. But mine has lasted for 5 or more years (I'm too scared to go to a doctor -- haven't been to one for almost 30 years I think).

I read on a dermatalogic messageboard guy has this for 7 years, I am gonna kill someone if they dont do research on why we getting it and cure it
