Material and Method: We performed a retrospective study of 112 patients with pityriasis rosea who attended our outpatient clinic (Celal Bayar University Dermatology Department) from 1996 to 2001. Results: The mean age of patients was 46.7+14.7, range between 1 to 65 years. Seventy-six of the patients were female (67.9%) and 36 of them were male (32.1%). Duration pityriasis rosea period was ranging between 1 and 90 days (mean value: 18.4+19.1 days). Eighty-nine (79.5%) of the patients did not have a history of infection. Itching was present in 86 cases (76.8%). Five patients (4.5%) had previous history of stress. When seasonal distrubition was evaluated, the number of patients who were diagnosed in winter, summer, autumn and spring was 43 (38.4%), 22 (19.6%), 28 (25.0%), and 19 (17.0%) successively. Amedallion plaque was observed in 97 patients (86.6 %). Of 112 patients, 77 had lesions localized to trunk (68.8%), 34 had generalized lesions (30.3%) andone showedlesions inlowerextremities (0.9%). Conclusion: Our results confirm that pityriasis rosea, in our population, is more prevalent in winter, has a predilectin for the trunk and is pruritic.
