A thorough history, clinical examination and appropriate laboratory tests will be needed to solve the mystery. Pityriasis rosea by definition is a self limiting condition and should resolve in 2 weeks time on an average but for some patients it may last longer. The management is to get it diagnosed so that we are assured that it is not anything else and after that to provide moisturizing agents and anti-itching tablets.You can increase the anti-allergic tablet to twice daily and apply the cream mixed in a moisturizing lotion so that it spreads more and active medications are less used.
