What Is Pityriasis Rosea?
10. Light Therapy
Another potential treatment for pityriasis rosea is light therapy. This involves exposing the affected areas of skin to artificial light. The treatment is thought to be able to treat a number of skin conditions in addition to pityriasis rosea. More research needs to be done, but some patients report positive results after using the treatment.
Photodynamic therapy may also be used to help treat pityriasis rosea. This technique combines certain drugs with light energy that the skin is exposed to. The treatment is used to help kill cancer cells, but may also help to relieve the patient of pityriasis rosea symptoms.
