What Is Pityriasis Rosea?
9. Medication
If home remedies are not working then the patient can try using some medication instead. Medication like Benadryl, which helps to counter allergies, can be purchased over the counter at drugs stores. Calamine lotion can also help, as can moisturizers, and the patient can also try corticosteroid creams that can be purchased over the counter.
If you want something stronger, then you can speak to your doctor about a prescription. They may be able to prescribe you more powerful antihistamines and corticosteroids that have a better chance of soothing your symptoms. Bear in mind that you should always follow the doctor’s instructions when using medication.
