    I’ve had pityriasis. Twice. So I know what the itch is like. Antihistamines are your friends.

      It’s weird isn’t it. When I got the herald patch there wasn’t any discomfort at all. Then the other rash started, and my goodness I showered too enthusiastically with a rough flannel but did it feel good.

        I took quick warm baths. I moisturised. I wore soft cotton t shirts and I ate a lot of antihistamines. Second time around wasn’t so bad and it was a much quicker recovery. I haven’t had it since.

        There’s no doubt that’s what you have.
