9. Treatment: Oatmeal Bath and Moisturizer

An at-home remedy that can help soothe the itchiness of pityriasis rosea includes taking an oatmeal bath. There are specific bath products available at local pharmacies. A handful of ground to powder oatmeal will relieve the symptoms. Do not soak in hot water, but opt to bathe in lukewarm water instead or as cool as you can tolerate. In fact, you should avoid hot baths and showers for the remainder of the rash. Afterward, use calamine lotion to moisturize your skin.
