Abstract

Pityriasis rosea is a common, self-limited and inflammatory skin disease. The etiology is not clearly known. Viral agents, autoimmunity, psychogenic factors and drugs have all been suggested as risk factors. Isotretinoin is usually used in the treatment of resistant, nodulocytic acne. We present a case of pityriasis rosea-like eruption induced by isotretinoin. To our knowledge, this is the second clinical case of pityriasis rosea-like eruption induced by isotretinoin.
