dear sir I understand your concern.the conditions like ptyriasis rosea PR very rarely needs treatment.in Avery rare conditions like kids drugs like methyl prednisone and antiviral a will be given.my best suggestion for dad is just calm your mind and stay relaxed it will go on its own for sure.in dad's condition of kidney disease steroids are not advisable because they damage kidney and raise sugars...regards

Sometimes steroids can exacerbate the disease and in resistant cases one can use phototherapy with UV-B, in atypical vesicular case one can try dapsone twice daily
