Conquering Pityriasis Versicolor: A Journey to Clear Skin

In May 2023, a young 28-year-old man embarked on a quest to find relief from an unsettling condition that had plagued him for the past month. He found himself at the esteemed Indorama Center, seeking relief and answers for the mysterious rash on the back of his neck.

 

Recognizing the complexity of the case, the paramedics promptly arranged a teleconsultation with a renowned dermatologist. After a thorough clinical assessment, the dermatologist arrived at a provisional diagnosis: Pityriasis Versicolor. The dermatologist prescribed a course of action, Tab. Levocetirizine 5mg Oral Tablet, to be taken once daily after meals for a week, promised to provide relief from the persistent itch and discomfort. Complementing this oral medication, the doctor recommended Onabet cream, a topical ointment to be applied twice daily on the affected areas for a month. Instructions were issued to abstain from scratching the affected regions and to attend regular reviews to monitor progress.

 

The young man visited the dermatologist for a follow-up on the 24th of May and noticed a slight improvement in his condition. After witnessing some progress, the dermatologist extended his guidance and support. Advised the young man to continue using the ointment for another 15 days and provided a set of essential guidelines to aid in the young man’s recovery. Avoiding tight-fitting clothes, abstaining from alcohol throughout medication, bathing twice daily with fresh clothes, refraining from scratching the affected areas, and abstaining from sharing towels were all part of the treatment to overcome Pityriasis Versicolor.
