Pityriasis Rosea and mouth ulcers?

Posted , 3 users are following.

Help!  Are there others who are suffering from mouth ulcers due to having been diagnosed with Pityriasis Rosea?  I'm now in my 12th-13th week and have not been able to eat - let alone taste any food.  Is there anything I can take/do?

    Oh, that sounds awful! I didn't get mouth ulcers (American, so over here we say "cold sores"wink  but ugh, what a fun thing to deal with on top of the rash! 

    If you haven't yet, go back to your doctor and see if they can prescribe you a mouthwash or ointment to use to help the ulcers heal. Are they inside or outside your mouth?

    I wish I could offer more help, but I do know that PR can make a lot of other nasty skin conditions flare up. I got conjunctivitis right before mine went away! But the eyedrops I was prescribed cleared it up very fast, as well as the patches of PR that were on my face. Not sure how that happened, but I'm glad it did!
