Answer 1

Because the disease usually is self-limited and asymptomatic, medical therapy is often unnecessary. Pityriasis alba has no medical consequences, and the side effects of the medications may outweigh the cosmetic benefit of the intervention. The most commonly used remedies {eg, emollients, topical steroids, psoralen plus ultraviolet light A photochemotherapy {PUVA}} appear to have limited efficacy.
