Pityriasis Alba: Pityriasis alba is a common skin condition affecting children and occasionally young adults and older individuals. Several round or oval slightly scaly pink patches appear, leaving pale marks when the redness has faded. No treatment is necessary, but a moisturizing cream may improve the dry appearance. If the patches are red or itchy, a mild topical steroid cream can be applied for a few days.
