==Overview==


Although there is no cure for pityriasis rosea, in most cases the condition goes away by itself without any treatment.  [[Ultraviolet light]] treatment or [[phototherapy]] may shorten the duration of the condition and may be prescribed for extensive and persistent cases of pityriasis.  [[Corticosteroid]] creams may also be prescribed to relieve the[[itching]].


Pityriasis rosea usually lasts between 8 to 10 weeks — the rashes disappear without scarring. In people with dark complexions, however, hyperpigmented discolorations may last for several months afterwards.
__NOTOC__
Although Pityriasis rosea may occur in more than one person in a household at a time, it is not thought to be highly contagious.
