Should I be worried I have ben diagnosed with pityriasis rosea...I only have three lesions, started out with my first one about 6 weeks ago and got the third one just 2 days ago...itch at times but nothing crazy. I have read some info online and it is misleading. Should I worry about my child well being?
Hi, I can understand the concern for satyriasis rose. But let me reassure you that satyriasis rose is a very simple self limiting problem and remains only for few weeks of period and then subsided of its own. You have not mentioned your age, occupation and any relevant history which could have guided the best treatment. I advise you to not scratch the area otherwise these areas are very prone for getting secondary infection. You should preferably meet a dermatologist who can examine you physically and provide you the best treatment. For time being period you can apply a steroid cream such as cortisone cream and take antihistamine tablet such as loratadine or cetirizine. Do not worry you will be alright soon. Take care.
