Hello,
For the scars, treatment involves hydroquinone, azelaic acid, corticosteroids, tretinoin cream and laser treatment. You can use any of them. Please discuss these options with your dermatologist before using them. I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
thanks for the reply Bhupinder Kaur you have made me feel considerable better i have another doctor's appointment next week. I believe my rash was pityriasis rosea however on a good note the rashes have seem to subside and began to heal, all redness is gone. I have a problem though i have alot of scars. I am of India decent and the areas where the rashes were are slightly pigmented and the skin seems lose, there is a lot of peeling occurring as well. Can you tel me of ways to promote healing of my skin. I have to cover my body to hide my scars and i want them to leave as soon as possible. Thank you
Hello,
I cannot confirm anything without examination but it can be due to pityriasis rosea. The other possibilities are of contact dermatitis, sweat dermatitis, hives or fungal infection. Pityriasis rosea is a common human skin disease which presents as numerous patches of pink or red oval rash. The rash may be accompanied by low-grade headache, fever, nausea and fatigue and itching. Topical and oral steroids are needed. Water, sweat, and soap may cause irritation and should be avoided in the disease. Topical zinc oxide and calamine lotion are useful for pruritus.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
