Pityriasis rosea is a self-limiting skin rash. Usually, there is a large red oval patch of flaky skin followed by smaller, more widespread rashes. Sometimes, there is itching in the affected area along with fever and nausea. The condition is usually resolved without treatment within six months, though a doctor may prescribe medicines for the symptoms.
