Medical Therapy

  • Although there is no cure for pityriasis rosea, in most cases the condition goes away by itself without any treatment.
  • Ultraviolet light treatment or phototherapy may shorten the duration of the condition and may be prescribed for extensive and persistent cases of pityriasis.
  • Corticosteroid creams may also be prescribed to relieve the itching.
