I have been diagnosed with pityriasis rosea is there anything i can take to help clear it up faster i look a mess?and it's everywhere

Antiviral medication: New evidence shows that pityriasis rosea is caused by a reactivation of the human herpes viruses 6/7. This virus causes roseola, a common rash associated with fever that most people develop when toddler aged (2-4 yrs). Later in life, our immunity wanes toward this virus, and it can reactivate. Antiviral medications can lead to resolution more quickly. It will also resolve on its own eventually.
