I have had pityriasis rosea for over 6 months now. dermatologist gave me a steroid cream, but it doesn't seem to be helping anymore. any tips?

Second opinion: It's unusual but not unheard-of for pityriasis rosea to last this long. I've been told that getting a minor sunburn and/or taking erythromycin can end the disease. Perhaps this is actually something else -- perhaps a second opinion is in order. Best wishes.
