Hello! Pityriasis rosea is a common skin disease characterized by erythema, papules, and scales. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is called "wind-heat sore" or "wind-heat sore". The cause and pathogenesis are still unclear, but may be related to viral infection.

Generally, the rash will subside on its own in 4-6 weeks, and some cases can last as long as half a year. TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment by cooling blood and dispelling wind, combined with antiviral or anti-allergic drugs can shorten the course of the disease.

External medications such as urea ointment, betamethasone ointment, calamine lotion, medium-wave ultraviolet irradiation, infrared spectrum analyzer, hot spring bath, etc. all have auxiliary effects.

The disease is self-limiting and is unlikely to recur after recovery. If the symptoms are not severe, there is no need to blindly take medication. Pay attention to skin hygiene and avoid eating spicy, greasy and fishy foods that cause wind.
