Suggest Treatment For Pityriasis Rosea Of Chest, Back And Arms
Hi, I have crohns disease, 1 week ago I went to my doctor and he told me I have pityiasis rosea. Now it is very bad, it is on my chest and stomach and my back and this morning it started on my arms and legs. He said it could be this bad because of my crohns that it is that bad and it could last a few month. What can I do? I'm going crazy!

Hi, pityriasis rosea is a self-limiting desease, which means that it doesnt need treatment unless it itches. So, you have to wait from 8 to 16 weeks for pytiriasis rosea to vanish. You may use moisturizer lotions, exposing yourself to the sun for short periods of time can help as well, 10 minutes daily may be enough.
