Specific medicine for the treatment of pityriasis rosea

Pityriasis rosea is a skin disease caused by a virus. If you suffer from pityriasis rosea, you will feel unbearable itching. At this time, do not scratch the pityriasis area with your hands, because it is caused by a viral infection.

Pityriasis rosea is a common inflammatory skin disease that occurs on the trunk and proximal limbs. It is characterized by rose-colored macules of varying sizes and numbers, covered with sugary scales. The disease is self-limiting and usually lasts for 6 to 8 weeks before healing on its own. However, there are also cases where the disease does not heal for a long time, as many patients with pityriasis rosea are prone to be left with unsightly pigmentation after delaying treatment. Should be treated early. Because pityriasis rosea is self-limiting, the goal of treatment is to relieve symptoms and shorten the course of the disease.

1. In general , hot water washing and soap scrubbing are contraindicated during the acute phase of treatment. Strong irritating topical medications are prohibited. Clinically, many cases are seen where insufficient attention is paid to general treatment, thus prolonging the course of the disease or turning it into autosensitive dermatitis.

2. Antihistamines can be used appropriately, such as chlorpheniramine, cyproheptadine, terfenadine and clematis, etc. Vitamin C can also be used.

3. The treatment principle of traditional Chinese medicine is to clear away heat and cool blood, dispel wind and relieve itching. Generally, Liangxue Xiaofeng Decoction is effective. For mild patients, 30g of Lithospermum officinale can be used, decocted in water and taken once a day.

Do not scratch it directly with your hands, as this can easily cause skin damage to the affected area. People who have suffered from flat warts know that this can cause flat warts to spread rapidly and more flat warts to grow along the scratches. This is because flat warts contain viruses. Once skin lesions occur, the viruses will spread and infect normal skin, thereby causing the disease to spread. Therefore, be sure not to scratch the affected area with your hands.
