How To Get Rid Of The Odour Due To Pityriasis Rosea?
I have been diagnosed with pityriasis rosea. Have had a horrible rash covering most of my body for 2 weeks now. Skin is extremely dry and I have recently noticed a distinct odor originating from my skin. Is the odor common and how can I get rid of the odor? I know I pretty much just need to wait for the rash to go away.

Hi,
It is not common to have bad odour in patient having pityriasis rosea. It may be due to poor hygiene or perspiration. I would recommend you to take bath in dettol mixed water. And improve the hygiene and immunity. Take proper treatment for the skin disease you have under the dermatologist care.
Hope this helps you.
Regards.
