Suggest Treatment For Pityriasis Rosea

I currently have pityriasis rosea and I must admit it s driving me crazy! I ve been and seen various different doctors who all agreed it was PR started off with the herald patch on my chest then spread down my belly and up my neck. Currently using eumovate cream and taking Telfast (fexofenadine hydrochloride) was initially advised a basic anti histamine cream and some priton but the itch is unbearable. Can you suggest anything to relieve it?!

Hello
Pityriasis Rosea is usually self resolution condition but sometimes it can last longer and have associated symptoms like itching etc.
I would suggest a minor modification in your treatment:
Instead of Eumovate cream apply Halovate-F cream twice a day and on top of it apply calamine lotion in generous amount.
Instead of fexofenadine take hydroxyzine 10mg twice a day for 5 days.
I am sure you will be fine soon with the treatment advised.
Take care
