Pityriasis rosea (PR) recurrence is generally considered to be rare. There are few studies conducted in the literature to determine the frequency of recurrence. 212 patients (136 female, 76 male) were prospectively evaluated by the same physician for 4 years and recurrence frequency was examined. This study is considered worthy of presentation due to the PR recurrence rate being higher than reported in the literature.
As many as 17% of adult atopic dermatitis (AD) patients have at least one psychiatric diagnosis. Depression is the most common psychiatric comorbidity among adult AD patients. Mental disorders are more frequent in women than in men with AD. A previously unreported finding is the association of AD with both schizophrenia and bipolar disorders.
