I was told i had pityriasis rosea.i have new, different bumps that weren't like before that hurt really bad. is this associated with pityriasis rosea?

No!: Pityriasis rosea, is a skin condition, with no known cause. It causes redness, patches, and sometimes itching but no pain. Your bumps are due to something else, maybe the stuff you are putting on it. Also fragrances, harsh soaps, hot water, overscrubbing and aerosols are skin irritants. Stop these. See doc.
