Hey, I've got pityriasis rosea, I've had it for around 2 months and it's not too bad (phew) but it's gone under my arm. And when I use sugaring because its like waxing it ripped the skin and it's really sore. Then I used hair removal cream and it was stinging so much I felt like crying. Anyone know what to do? Also has anyone on here got pityriasis rosea?

Go see a doctor as soon as possible. Don't try anything online without your doctors permission.

I've already seen the doctor it'll go on it's own eventually it's just dead sore when I wax or use cream

Try taking some Advil and let it heal. If you touch it or do anything else it will get worse.

I used to have it there is nothing your doctor can proscribe but it goes away in 7 days to seven weeks.

I know that's a wide span of time but mine went away in the 3 weeks.

Anything that irritates it I would say stop doing and let it heal.
Sounds like the waxing and sugaring is irritating it. Trying stopping it till it is all the way healed since it won't help it get better if it keeps it irritated. Shaving I don't think would irritate it.

I think I'm very lucky compared to some people patches what the doctor has shown me on some pics.

If I'm understanding correctly it sounds like anywhere you wax or put hair removal cream you are getting this pityriasis rosea. Am I right? If so obviously the ways you are removing hair is severely irritating the skin and making the problems worse. Stop using those methods and try to let your skin heal before trying to shave the areas

No, it's everywhere on me. Back, legs, arms, under arm, bum, shoulders... Etc
