Pityriasis rosea is not a contagious disease. The definite cause is unknown. Rashes may be triggered by herpes virus and HIV. Pityriasis does not have have the same cause. You are advised ointment Topisone, Allegra, for itching, Acyclovir for 7 days. Review after this.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
