Pityriasis rosea – simptomi infekcije i dijagnoza

Pityriasis rosea (pitirijaza rozea) obično počinje s velikim, pomalo izdignutim krugom na leđima, prsima ili trbuhu. Prije nego što se pojavi ovaj početni osip, neke osobe imaju upalu grla ili groznicu.

Nekoliko dana nakon pojave prvog osipa, možda ćete primijetiti manje ljuskave mrlje na leđima, prsima ili trbuhu, koje nalikuju na borove grane. Osip može izazvati svrbež, koji je povremeno vrlo težak.

Promjene na koži rijetko primjećujemo na dlanovima i tabanima, licu i skalpu. Ako primijetite promjene na tim dijelovima tijela, obratite se liječniku. Svrbež se pojačava kada koža postaje toplija npr prilikom vježbanja ili tuširanja toplom vodom, zato je preporučljivo tuširati se hladnom vodom.

Dijagnoza se postavlja na temelju kliničke slike i raspodjele. Diferencijalna dijagnoza uključuje tineju, osipe od lijekova, psorijazu, lichen planus i sekundarni stadij sifilisa. Testiranje na sifilis se obavlja kada se osip pojavi na području dlanova i tabana.

How to Recognize Pityriasis Rosea

Pityriasis rosea is a common rash that usually begins as a round or oval-shaped patch and spreads in stages in a characteristic pattern. It may or may not be itchy and usually lasts six to eight weeks before resolving on its own.

The four stages of pityriasis rosea are:

• Preliminary stage: You feel ill for a day or two.
• Herald patch stage: A large round or oval patch that's red or pink develops on your skin.
• Rash stage: Many smaller patches or bumps appear.
• Resolution: Your skin clears up.

Before the rash appears, some people may develop a fever, headache, sore throat, or other flu-like symptoms.

Vücudun Hangi Bölgelerinde Görülür?

Esas yerleşim yeri gövdedir. Buna kol ve bacakların gövdeye yakın kısımları eşlik edebilir. Normal şartlarda yüz, ön kol ve diz altında görülmez. Ancak nadir de olsa mekanik ve kimyasal tahrişlerle ya da yanlış tedavilerle hastalık yaygınlaşabilir ve ‘Eritrodermi’ denilen ve tüm vücuda yayılan kırmızı kepekli bir görünüm oluşabilir.

Klinik muayene ile pityriasis rosea tanısı rahatlıkla konulabilmekle beraber aşağıdaki hastalıklar ayırıcı tanıda akla gelebilir,

• Samyeli (Pityriasis Versicolor)
• Psoriasis Guttata (Damla benzeri döküntülü Sedef Hastalığı)
• İlaç reaksiyonları
• Viral hastalık döküntüleri
• Tinea Corporis (Madalyon plak ile karışabilir)
• Pitiriyaziform Seboreik Dermatit
• Pitiriyazis Likenoides

Takeaways

There is no known cause, cure, or prevention method for pityriasis rosea, but it's usually nothing to worry about and will go away on its own. While there aren't any ways to get rid of the rash faster, there are things that can help you feel more comfortable as it clears up over many weeks. Talk to your dermatologist about any at-home or over-the-counter remedies that they suggest or, if you have more intense itching or dryness, ask them about any prescribed treatments they can give you.

• What is the main cause of pityriasis rosea? While the cause of pityriasis rosea is unclear, it may be linked to infections with certain strains of the herpes virus. That doesn't include the kind of herpes virus that causes cold sores.
• What gets rid of pityriasis rosea fast? There's no way to make rashes go away faster, so treatment choices focus on symptoms such as itching. But pityriasis rosea should clear up on its own in 6-8 weeks.
• Is pityriasis rosea something to worry about? Pityriasis rosea clears up on its own in a few weeks, so it’s usually nothing to worry about. But you may need to have a follow-up visit with your dermatologist if:
  • The rash lasts longer than 3 months.
  • The itch or other symptoms remain or worsen after you’ve had the rash for 2 months.
  • You're pregnant.
