Abstract:

Gibert?s pityriasis rosea is a frequent, benign eruption of unknown aetiology and self-limited course that especially affects children and young adults. It is characterized by a primary herald patch followed by a generalized exanthema that involves especially the trunk and proximal zone of limbs. The frequency of recurrences has been estimated in various studies in about 2%, mostly unique. It is described the case of an 8 years old girl that suffered four episodes of pityriasis rosea with annual periodicity.

Keywords: Pityriasis rosea. Recurrence.
