Itchy Patches On Skin, Arms, Chest. Diagnosed Pityariasis Versicolor. No Help From Ketoconozole Shampoo. Dry, Scaly Skin. Possible Eczema?
Hi, I went to my doctor a few weeks ago to ask about some patches that has appeared on my skin, arms and chest and she said i had pityariasis versicolor and prescribed ketoconozole shampoo witch i have used for one week i haven't seem no difference whatsoever and my skin is very itchy now i haven't used any cream since i started use this shampoo, Can i apply e45 or any cream for dry itchy skin and also could i have eczema as well as that? because to me it is very dry and scaly now? Please help me:(
Hi pityriasis versicolor is usually nonitchy.absence of itching and no response with ketaconazole shampoo rules out pityriasis versicolor.most properly it is dry scaly eczema.yes u apply e50 cream but the best treatment for it is atarax 25 mg at night.antibiotic twice daily and application of moisteriser twice daily if no response add steriod cream in the night to get cured .use of mosterising soap like dewdem soap can cure it
