I was diagnosed with Pityriasis Rosea yesterday. I ve had it for about 4 weeks. The herald patch is on my lower back. I also started having back pain about an inch from the herald patch about the same time as this started. Can back pain come from having this?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Herald Patch usually doe not cause back pain. It is an asymptomatic condition. I feel that your back pain is entirely different from Herald patch. So, please do consult Orthopaedician for management of back pain.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
