Hello and thank you for sharing your question.

Unfortunately there is no standard treatment for pityriasis rosea because the cause is unknown.  But below I have listed some things you may want to try if you haven't already.

• avoid overheating, and hot showers/baths
• cool oatmeal baths may help reduce itching
• use moisturizers or calamine lotion while skin is damp
• use as little soaps as possible and when you do, use gentle products such as Dove or Johnson&Johnson
• some topical steroid creams that may help are: Antibiotic Erythromycin, Zovirax, or Famvir.

I hope that you find one of these suggestions useful.
