I have Pityriasis lichenoides et varioliformis (PLEVA) does anybody know of any links that cause this disease?
Not much is really known about PLEVA. I have had it a number of years and it covers almost my whole body. Steroid treatment is not respondng or antibiotics. It is starting to get me a bit down so I'm trying to find some answers. Please help

Wikipedia has a simple definition

eMedicine has a great article, lots of background, but you have to have a background in medicine to get most of it.

How severe are most cases of pityriasis rosea?
I recently went to the dermatologist and was diagnosed with pityriasis rosea. For over a month, i have had the Herald's patch on the back of my thigh. In the last week, the little bumps are starting to pop up. Do all cases get really bad? Should I expect to get quite a few? How long does a typical case last? Just want to know what I am in for in the next month or so. My dr said it just depends but just curious what other peoples experiences have been. I am a 29 year old female. Thanks.

I have it right now. They say it can last 1 to 3 months. I have had mine for two weeks and it is very itchy.. or was until I started sun-taning. Tons of sites said that this has helped them. I have light skin thge color of carmel candies so i typically don't go tanning. However, I am doing it and it helps. I was at the beach yesterday and it didn't hurt or itch. Today I layed out and it was better afterward. Not all cases get bad. I used lots of benedryl though at first it was horrible. (

How can you cure or help stop itching of pityriasis?
I have this skin virus called pityriasis. Ive had it for about 2 months now. Its spread and is getting more itchy day by day and causing me to lose sleep from it. How can I get rid of it or stop the itching? Ive tried E45 and this cream that people with dry skin use but it dont really help.

i had the same thing happen to me after experiencing extreme stress!
the doctor prescribed a corto-steroid lotion.the problem was applying it to all the areas(back especially).reduce your stress levels with meditation and rest,apply as required the lotion,and it should go away in a month!
p.s.-i know how totally irritating it feels,best of success to you. (

How to quell itching caused by pityriasis rosea?
I was diagnosed with pityriasis rosea a two weeks ago. My doctor told me it will go away on its own but it itches so badly! I'm getting spots all over my torso and a little bit on my arms, so it can get very irritating. I use Aveeno lotion but it doesn't hold up for the whole day.
Some say sun exposure will help. What should I do?

How long does Pityriasis Rosea normally last?
Preferably information from anyone who has had this rash.
And any other information I should know about it.
(itching reliefs, how to cover it up, duration, how long until it starts to fade, etc.)
I just got this rash like two and a half weeks ago. I just need information from people who actually have had this--- not just links to WebMD, I've already looked there.
----------
well, i use to have it and it only lasted about maybe 6weeks i believe.
For me it use to itch sometimes, but don't scratch. (
