Hi, You have developed satyriasis rose. Now you need to understand that this is essentially a self limiting skin condition which means that it will take its own time to completely go. Oral steroids are definitely not the preferred modality of treatment. Only topical steroids help in most cases. Remember that the lesions may continue to appear in crops for something like six to eight weeks or sometimes even more. But since it is a harmless skin condition, so a very aggressive approach is not recommended. Chat Doctor.
