PI skin condition is not a recognized or standard term in dermatology. However, it's possible the question refers to Pityriasis Rosea (PR), a skin condition that starts with a herald patch.
Understanding Pityriasis Rosea
Pityriasis Rosea is a rash that commonly begins as a single, larger spot.
-
Herald Patch: The rash often starts with an oval-shaped spot on the chest, abdomen, back or face. According to overview information, this initial patch can be up to 4 inches (10 centimeters) across.
-
Subsequent Spots: Following the herald patch, smaller spots may develop. These spots often spread outwards from the body's midline, resembling the drooping branches of a pine tree.
