Dorland's:
pityriasis rosea, a common acute or subacute, self-limited exanthematous disease of unknown etiology, the onset of which is marked by the presence of a solitary erythematous or salmon- or fawn-colored herald plaque, most often seen on the trunk, arms, or thighs, followed by the development of papular or macular lesions, similar to but smaller than the initial lesion, which have vesicular borders subsequently that tend to peel and produce a scaly collarette.
