What worked to clear pityriasis rosea in 1 week!

I noticed the herald patch on the back of my neck a little over a month ago then a rash on my chest about 10 days later. Into week 2 of the rash, the first spots on the chest rash were fading a bit (but still getting extremely irritated after working out and showering) but my back was getting so much worse and definitely had that “Christmas tree” pattern. It wasn’t until week 3 when it started creeping higher on my neck that I needed to try to expedite this process and get rid of it faster. TANNING, HEAD AND SHOULDERS, AND AVENNO. I’m barely going on 1 week of this regimen and the rash is almost completely gone in all areas and I hardly ever itch. I’ve tanned 3x at 7-8 mins and come home and use Head and Shoulders as my body wash (I just use my hands and no loofah or wash cloth, I think it’s more gentle for my skin). I use Aveeno Skin Relief lotion after showering. Honestly this is worth a shot and it’s just such a relief now. I never write review or recommendations but this rash was making me super uncomfortable and I was constantly worrying about it and was so bummed when I knew there was no cure. I went to the dermatologist just for confirmation that this was definitely pityriasis rosea, but if you can save yourself a trip, just try out this regimen first. Hope this helps!
