1. LOWER YOUR STRESS LEVELS & Don't Scratch (most important, imo)
2. Aveeno Baby Wash with colloidal oatmeal for showers and baths, using lukewarm water only. Do not take hot showers or baths or the bumps will come out more, aggravate your skin more, or reappear if they tended to be fading.
3. Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion with colloidal oatmeal, which you can mix with Vaseline Intensive Care Vitalizing Gel Body Oil (Coconut Butter * Vitamin E), then mix it together and lather your entire body, head to toe.
4. Get some SUN. Yep, this is probably the BEST method for treating Pityriasis Rosea at home, which is the ONLY method really.
If you can't afford to go to a tanning salon, or just don't want to go to a tanning salon, stand in the sun for at least 10-15 minutes PER DAY with as much of your body exposed as possible. You will want the sun to cover as much of your exposed body as possible. That will bring some relief and it will help the spots to HEAL, which is the point after all.
5. Time -- Give it time to run its course. I used everything from anti-fungal cream, to cortisone cream, to neosporin to rid myself of the painfully itchy rash, but none of that truly worked.
The rash will run the course of 6-12 weeks, and it needs all of that time to heal. When the spots begin to fade, that process may seem to go on for as long as the initial outbreak, but have no fear, those spots will one day disappear.
