Suggest Remedy For Pityriasis Rose Across The Body

Hi my name is Karen. I live in Beijing, China but I am from the US. Recently, I had a very bad bout with an ear infection, I was prescribed pencilin, didn't work, went back to find out that I still had an ear infection, especially middle ear. Took ear drops with a steroid in them and they cleared up right away. About a week later I came down with what looks to me exactly like Pityriasis rosea. Doctor also says a possible reaction to the antibiotics, but it is not going away like they thought it might after taking the prescribed predisone. I am so scared I will have to live with this forever. I am a 38 year old female, weight about 162 lbs., and I have also been sick with an upper respiratory cold and about 3-4 wks. of a bad ear infection. How can I be proactive about this with doctors and are there any recommended treatments for Pityriasis rose (it looks EXACTLY like this) Also, it started in the trunk area and has gradually sread towards the skin above my groin, a few on my neck and even a few spots on my arms, but tons on my stomach.
