pityriasis rosea and pregnancy Posted: 08-19-08 15:33pm
I actually just came from the
dermotologist and she said that until
recently, it was thought that pityriasis
rosea had no dangerous effects for
pregnant women and their babies. However,
a recent study (not much of a study from
the sounds of it, only 38 people tested)
showed some issues with muscle density in
the baby and some issues with miscarrieage
if the pityriasis presented within the
first 15 weeks of pregnancy. I can't
really vouch for the study. As I said,
they only tested about 38 people in the
study and my doctor didn't seem all that
terribly concerned. You might want to
consult and ObGyn. They would definitely
know better than I would.
