Pityriasis Lichenoids Chronica
I've plc for 7 yrs, been to many dr, no oral or topical medicine has worked so far, they only suppress it for a week kr two, And the treatment is expensive. & if it's not going to be same even if I'm taking medicines by dr advice then what's the point, Now i want to take care of it on my own. ------ Once i went to this dr, he advised me:
1. Etan-G cream ( Clobetasol Propionate & Gentamicin Sulphate cream) by menarini - this cream is affordable to me.
2. Whit-Care skin treatment lotion by mark cosmed India ( And was told to sit in the sun for 10 to 20 min after applying it)
3. D'vacos multi vitamin body moisturizer.
----- After lesions are gone they leave a white mark and these white marks are all over my body, and new lesions come after every 3 weeks. So i was thinking if I can use these 3 medicines on my own from now but what will be the duration of it, how long can i continuously use each medicine so they don't affect my skin and cause harm, help

I understand your concern. It is a chronic condition. But using medication on your own is not advisable. Treatment depends on the severity of the condition and its duration. Using steroid for long duration without supervision is not advisable.
Next Steps
kindly book online consultation for further management
