Hi
pityriasis alba is more common and resistant to treatment in certain patients .
In most cases ,it does not require treatment also and tends to settle on its own .
Application of moisturisers,mild topical steroid creams or calcineurin inhibitors helps in difficult cases .
You can discuss these options with your doctor .
