I am African American and I have had PR four times in my life . Each time Ive had it for more than a year along with a year to recover from the hyperpigmentation.

Through my research i found that PR is a type of herpes virus and that taking Lysine may help to stop it as Lysine can hinder viral reproduction.

Sure enough this year PR tried to come back. I started taking two 1500 mg of Lysine a day After a week the spots started to clear. I thought i was over PR so I stopped taking the Lysine and the rash tried to return. So for a month i repeated my dose and so far so good. This has also worked for my nephew. I think the key is to self disgnose early and start the supplements immediately before you see your doctor if you have no allergies to these supplements. hope this helps someone!
