An atypical form of pediatric pityriasis rosea of the diaper area: Pityriasis marginata et circinata of Vidal.

Pityriasis rosea is a common, self-limited disease which in its typical form should not raise diagnostic doubts. Nevertheless, its atypical presentations can be a challenge for the clinician, and hence it is important to be aware of them. Recognition of these forms may enable a correct diagnosis to be made and avoid unnecessary procedures. We present two patients for whom we believe atypical PR was the most likely the diagnosis.
