Have Pityriasis Rosea, Rashes. On Prednisone. Why Is It Persistent?
i was told that i got pityriasis rosea and it id painful they put me on prednisone and it helped at first but now that i'm getting off of it the rash is still persistant and painful and i year ago i had a wart removed in my noise they said it was and inverted papaloma wart. how do i get rid of the rash and do i need to seek more medical treatment?
Now you need to understand that this is essentially a self limiting skin condition which means that it will take its own time to completely go.
Oral steroids are definitely not the preferred modality of treatment. Only topical steroids help in most cases. Remember that the lesions may continue to appear in crops for something like six to eight weeks or sometimes even more.
But since it is a harmless skin condition, so a very aggressive approach is not recommended.

Hi, You have developed pityriasis rosea. Now you need to understand that this is essentially a self limiting skin condition which means that it will take its own time to completely go. Oral steroids are definitely not the preferred modality of treatment. Only topical steroids help in most cases. Remember that the lesions may continue to appear in crops for something like six to eight weeks or sometimes even more.
