Pityriasis rosea how can you tell its healing? it just feels super itchy and super uncomfortable. losing sleep because of this. had it for 3 weeks

Relief call doctor: Did you get the diagnosis from dermatologist? Diagnosis must be sure. If it is PR it is self limited & heals in 6-8 weeks Were you given any medications? Can use benadryl by mouth & external cream. Do not use soap on the rash.
