Hello dear,

Welcome to Health care magic. I am Dr Charu Bansal , I will shortly try to help you with my opinion.

if it is again p.rosea, you have to take the same treatment that is topical steroidal creams.
But such scaly rash can be due to fungal infection also. And treatment for this is entirely different.
So, i will advice you to upload a pic of the lesions so that correct diagnosis can be made.

Based on the available details, this is my best advice for you. You should discuss with your doctor and share my opinion, I am sure he/she will agree to my opinion. If you wish to discuss the problem further , you may please ask.
Stay Healthy.
