title: Palmar initial lesion in pityriasisrosea.
abstract: Pityriasisrosea is a frequently encountered skin disease associated with typical erythematous-squamous lesions. Majority of the cases relate to patients between 10 and 35 years of age. In clinically typical cases, the disease appears with the initial lesion called herald patch. The initial lesion generally locates on trunk, neck and proximal extremities. However, it can rarely be seen on other body parts such as face, scalp, and genital region. The initial lesion located on palmar region has been just once presented in literature. In this study, we present a 22-year-old female patient with palmar initial lesion who was followed up with misdiagnosis until rashes appeared on her body.
