[NP-Clinical] PR info

[Robert Blumm]

This is further vindication of the validity of non-physician providers.
The treatment above is exactly what my kids had twenty years ago and
this has not changed. Were some of these Doc's asleep during their basic
dermatology courses? Don't fool yourselves; a good NP and PA can most
likely pass FP Boards with their current education and less than seven
years of practice. We need to continually believe in ourselves.

Warmly,

Bob

Pityriasis Rosea does not need antibiotic treatment. It can last up to
12 weeks. Sunlight can HELP. The only med recommended is antihistimines
for itching

More on PR:

(hope this comes through).

She possibly has a yeast infection from the EES. If she is on OCPs, the
bleeding could be breakthrough bleeding because the antibiotic is
interfering with the hormone.

	My 15 yo daughter has been diagnosed with PR (Pityriasis Rosea)
recently. Her doc recommended a course of Erythromycin 333mg TID for ten
days. She recently developed some light vaginal bleeding (her period was
two weeks ago) that lasted just one day. Her rash is worse, and she's
had the rash for almost two weeks now. My question is: is the antibiotic
causing the vaginal discharge? She has no other symptoms other than the
itchiness from the PR and is taking Benadryl 25-50mg every four hours as
needed. 

	Thoughts?

	Kathleen

	 

	ps/I really appreciate the input from this group!
