Pityriasis Alba |
Diagnosis is usually made solely on clinical signs and symptoms. A biopsy may be performed but usually will show unimpressive changes under the microscope. Pityriasis alba sometimes works itself out spontaneously and does not always require treatment. A moisturizer cream or lotion may be recommended to retain moisture in the skin. A low potency topical corticosteroid may also be prescribed to decrease inflammation and reduce symptoms. Elidel, a nonsteroidal topical cream, can also reduce itching and redness associated with pityriasis alba for those over the age of two.
