Symptoms of Pityriasis Rosea (AKA Christmas Tree Rash)? - Associated Content - associatedcontent.com

Everyone is asking "What is Pityriasis Rosea?" So I wrote an article on the symptoms and added pictures (5 of them). Here is a blurb from it.

I had never heard of Pityriasis Rosea when my youngest son came to me complaining of a spot on his neck. I thought it was eczema but it didn't look like it after 24 hours and two days later he was covered in a spotted rash that looked like the bastard children of contact dermatitis, chicken pox and zits. The rash spread over the next three days and took on a Christmas tree shape on his back. I called the Doctor and made an appointment hoping he wouldn't erupt in tinsel, lights and ornaments.
