“…Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation may also result in significant cosmetic concern among young patients. Recent data suggest the possibility that pityriasis rosea may pose a risk for spontaneous abortion in pregnant women [4]. Thus an effective treatment for this condition is essential.…”

“…A study conducted among 38 pregnant females with Pityriasis Rosea reported 13% of women developed miscarriage before 15 weeks of gestation which is almost equal to miscarriages among general pregnancy population [6]. Furthermore, a literature search revealed in 6 cases of pregnancy associated with Pityriasis Rosea, new born fetus had increased hypotonia and weak motility [6]. But recent research revealed Pityriasis Rosea during pregnancy has no adverse outcomes on the mother as well as fetus [7].…”

Pityriasis Rosea is a self-limiting skin disorder of unknown etiology affecting women more than men. It is very rare in pregnancy and evidence shows conflicting reports on pregnancy outcomes related to Pityriasis Rosea. But recent evidence says, pregnancy outcomes are not altered, although clinicians must monitor the patient throughout the gestation for adverse outcomes. Hence, we report a case of Pityriasis Rosea infection in a primigravida, in the first trimester and the follow-up done in a tertiary care hospital in Southern India.

“…Nine had premature delivery, and five miscarried. Six neonates showed hypotonia, weak motility, and hyporeactivity [2]. We should therefore clearly document, and report if possible, maternal and foetal outcomes when pregnancy is complicated by exanthems which may be related to viral infections, not only ULE and PR, but also Gianotti-Crosti syndrome (papular acrodermatitis in adults), papular purpuric gloves and socks syndrome, eruptive pseudoangiomatosis, and other similar exanthems.…”
