The mysterious skin problem I developed recently has been diagnosed by my nurse practitioner as pityriasis rosea, a common harmless noncontagious skin infection. What causes it? Nobody knows, but apparently it could be viral. Also, it's extremely common, though I've never known anyone else who had it. For more info, check out the link (no, the picture doesn't look like what I have, although the nurse said I had a "textbook case" of it).

PB has started calling me "specky." It doesn't hurt or itch, but it's highly annoying that I will be covered in spots for the next 4-6 weeks.
