Unlabelled:
There are only few articles in literature which discuss the association between Meyerson's naevi and Pityriasis rosea. And when so, the discussion is done in a controversial way. Here an 18 year old man is presented who visits the outpatient clinic. He has a ten day history of a solitary Meyerson's naevus on his back. Over the next three weeks this naevus will develop to the typical herold patch followed by the classical exantheme of Pityriasis rosea.
Conclusion:
Halo dermatitis associated with Pityriasis rosea don't represent Meyerson's naevi. But they reflect the rare "nevocentric" property of a not so rare dermatose.
