i have had strep throat a few times recently and then a culture was sent off and was positive for a bacteria in my throat...i cant remember what it was called. and now i have pityriasis rosea. could strep throat and the rosea be linked together...i wanna know whats going on with my body?
There is no direct relation between strep and pityriasis rosea as the former is a bacterial infection while the latter is fungal. However if you are getting both the infections then further investigation is required to determine your immune levels as they both indicate low immunity You must consult an ENT and also an infection specialist as soon as possible so that any immunity problems can be sorted out
