Summary We report a young girl with large annular scaly lesions of pityriasis rosea in the axillae and groins, which recurred three times after the initial episode. The initial attack and the first recurrence were preceded by upper respiratory‐tract infection. The recurrences had a less severe presentation than usual and also lacked the herald patch. This unusual phenomenon of serial recurrences in a rare variant of pityriasis rosea is reported here for its unique presentation.
