Well.....????????
You gonna say it?

Do you mean:
Hives are not uncommon after a viral infection.

He didn't use the word "hives"... "something-or-other rosea". (Don't know if that's the
clinical term for hives... or if there is a variety of hives... or if it is just hive-ish). But
the good thing is it's usually a one-time thing.

So, OK... in the ballpark unless more digging tomorrow warrants a "bullseye" award.

Urticaria? If so, == hives.

In many individuals with pityriasis rosea, the characteristic rash develops after vague,
nonspecific symptoms that resemble those associated with an upper respiratory infection.
The rash is usually located on the back, chest and stomach and resolves on its own within
one to three months. Certain treatments may reduce the duration of the rash. Researchers
believe that pityriasis rosea is caused by an infectious pathogen, but they have been unable
to isolate and identify such a pathogen.

Right. Dermatology 101: if it's dry, wet it. If it's wet, dry it.

Other than that, take some antihistamines and put some ointment on it and hope for the best.
