Pityriasis Rosea Women

Pityriasis rosea women

       While no one actually knows what the cure for pityriasis rosea is, the entire medical community has agreed on one thing: pityriasis rosea is not a sexist disease. It affects both men and women almost equally. However, why is everyone so scared of pityriasis rosea in women and completely dismiss its appearance in men? The answer to that is somewhat unexpected and it comes from the women themselves: aesthetics.

        For most men, the fact that their skin has suddenly turned red and blotchy on certain areas is not as important as one might be led to believe. On the other hand, pityriasis rosea in women, causing the same symptoms, is a terrible problem. Women are much more image - conscientious then men. This means only one thing: they are going to care more about the red and itchy blotches on their skin and they are going to do something about them right now. If that implies waking up in the middle of the night and driving to an emergency room for an essentially harmless skin condition, they will do it.

        However, there is one type of pityriasis rosea in women that poses a real threat to more then just physical looks and it is the one that affects pregnant women. The connection between the fact that the woman has a skin condition and it affecting the fetus is still a mystery. Unfortunately, about one in six women that suffer from pityriasis rosea while pregnant have miscarried.
