I think I have pytiriasis rosea and am fed up of not knowing what s wrong with me or what to do. Any suggestions? I am a 16-year old male and I got what I think was the herald patch about 8 weeks ago now but only visited the doctors for the first time about 4 weeks in after already trying E45 itch relief cream and aqueous cream . Since then I have been back twice and have seen 3 different doctors in total, each of whom thought the rash was something different. Firstly I was given steroids and antihistamines, which made the rash appear slightly better, but it still itched just as badly. I was then perscribed more antihistamines and a steroid cream (eumovate cream). I tried using this steroid cream until I ran out and towards the end it seemed to be reducing the inflamation of the rash (however it still itched badly, especially when I applied the cream). I went back to the health centre yesterday, hoping to see the same doctor and for him to suggest something else I could try that didn t itch as much. However instead I saw a different doctor who has said it wasn t pityriasis rosea , and that he thought it might be scabies . He perscribed me with some permethrin cream to apply overnight. I only used half a tube (about 15g) as I wasn t sure if it was right for what I thought I had. Immediately after applying the cream, the itching and burning became incredibly tense, and it felt like my whole body was on fire. It was the worse night s sleep I ve had since the start of the rash (and I ve had some bad nights). I m incredibly confused about what to do now, the itching is still unbearable and I can t keep going back to different doctors and getting nowhere. Some days I literally can t be bothered to move I feel so low. Is there anything I can do? Oh, and I ve just applied some eurax cream which I was perscribed yesterday, hasn t really done much, still itching.
