What is the best way to treat roseola

Herpes rosea is also called pityriasis rosea. This disease is self-limiting. Even if the patient does not treat it, the patient's own antibodies can cure the disease. However, good treatment can effectively shorten the duration of the disease, thus reducing the damage caused by the disease to oneself.

Treatment of Pityriasis Rosea with Western Medicine

Because the disease is self-limited, the goal of treatment is to relieve symptoms and shorten the course of the disease.

1. General treatment

During the acute phase, washing with hot water and scrubbing with soap are contraindicated. Strong irritating topical medications are prohibited. Clinically, many cases are seen where insufficient attention is paid to general treatment, thus prolonging the course of the disease or turning it into autosensitive dermatitis.

2. Antihistamines

Antihistamines such as chlorpheniramine, cyproheptadine, terfenadine and chlorpheniramine can be used appropriately, and vitamin C can also be used.

3. Ultraviolet radiation

After the acute inflammatory period is over, ultraviolet spot irradiation can promote the disappearance of lesions.

4. Topical medication

You can use Gangelica lotion for external application.

In mild cases, there are no subjective symptoms, the course of the disease is self-limited, no treatment is required, and it can disappear on its own. During the acute attack period, all kinds of stimulation and moisture should be avoided. The goal of treatment is to relieve symptoms and shorten the course of the disease. However, the exact effectiveness of some treatments is difficult to evaluate.
