Pityriasis rosea typically clears up on its own within 4 to 10 weeks, but in some cases, it can take up to 6 months to resolve completely.

I'm really struggling with a persistent fungal infection that's been going on for about 3 months. I've seen various doctors and tried all kinds of meds, but after a few days or weeks, it just comes back to the same situation. I'm dealing with these ring-like red formations on my skin that are super itchy, and they leave red patches. Any idea what might be causing this or how to actually get rid of it? It's really frustrating!

Chronic Fungal infection needs long-term treatment, personal hygiene measures are most important to cure this disease, practice special care towards affected area.
