Okay, it started to be chiggers or so I thought. But it got reaaally bad and I was like... ummm... no. So I went to the doctor to find out I have pitorysis... Can't spell. Im itchy and I was wondering if anyone here has personal experiences with it or whatever... to stop the itching cause it bugs me so bad. Doctors say there is no cure. It lasts about 5 weeks to 4 months and there is no known cause. This is what they told me... Any suggestions?

I have no personal experience but this maybe of help to you.

Pityriasis rosea often requires no treatment and it usually goes away by itself. However, treatment may include external or internal medications for itching. Soothing medicated lotions and lubricants may be prescribed. Lukewarm rather than hot baths may be suggested. Ultraviolet light treatments given under the supervision of a dermatologist may be helpful.
Occasionally, anti-inflammatory medications such as corticosteroid may be necessary to stop itching or make the rash go away. Patients should be reassured that this disease is not a dangerous skin condition even if it occurs during pregnancy.
Remember that pityriasis rosea is a common skin disorder and is usually mild. Most cases usually do not need treatment and fortunately, even the most severe cases eventually go away.
