[|AI|]  Hello. Thank you for writing to us at Chat Doctor Satyriasis rose presents with scaly red patches on torso and proximal extremities. P. rose is a hypersensitivity reaction to commonly to infectious agents like herpes virus (HHV 6 and 7) and certain oral Chat Doctor. The eruption is self limiting and resolves over time. There might be a few recurrences in the form of fresh eruption/ crops of new lesions. Various treatment modalities have been tried like topical steroid, oral accolades and recently oral antivirals. UV light has a beneficial effect, particularly narrowband UV B phototherapy. However, the episodes are rarely long-lasting to necessitate phototherapy and usually resolve by 3-4 weeks in most. I would suggest you to use a topical steroid lotion or cream, twice daily along with Oral erythromycin for 2-4 weeks. Regards
