Skin Rash On The Arm. Had Pityriasis Rosea In The Past. Is This Disease Dangerous In Pregnancy?
I had pityriasis rosea approximately 4 1/2 years ago, and with treatment it went away in a couple of weeks. I remember it itched badly. Now I have what could be a herald patch or could be ringworm developing on my left arm . How can I tell for sure? I am concerned, as I am trying to get pregnant and don t know if I am yet. I have read that pityriasis rosea can be dangerous in early pregnancy.
