Cured Pityriasis Rosea in 1 week!

Hey, friendgirl! My name is Kathy Key fitzpatrick. I want to send you a picture I took of my chest in NOVEMBER of last year; it had been going on for a few weeks at that time. Can you give me your email address? I FINALLY went to the doctor May 5, because about the time I was at the end of my rope, it would calm down, but I finally went. Took her 2 minutes for her to tell me what it was. (If I hadn't been talking my head off, she probably woulda told me sooner). Anyway, she gave me some great cream, calmed it down immensely, some antibiotics and something for itching, which I never took cos the cream took care of the itching.

I want to send you that picture to see if it is what YOU had. When you look at it up close, it looks like teeny, weeny varicose veins that sorta remind me of those things little kids have.... that you blow into, and it goes around and around, hellfire damnation, what are they called? Not windmills, you know what I mean?? Anyway, THAT is the shape they are, not really circular; I would use the word "splotchy".

Anyway, I'm going to Walmart tomorrow to get the H&S, and everything on the list.

I started putting vinegar on it yesterday, man, you talk about STING!!! Eye, yi, yi!

I have new activity on the back of my neck right along my hair line; sorta swollen up a little, wells, and because I have been scratching it, I about had to be pulled off the ceiling when I dabbed the vinegar in it. But I noticed on my chest seemed less irritated.

Anyway, I would love to talk with you one-on-one. Let me know if that's ok with you.

Thanks!!

Congratulations!! I've just been diagnosed (3 weeks in, no sign of it going away yet) and I'm starting an anti-dandruff regime myself, thinking 3 times a week.

I tried sunbathing for about 15 minutes outside yesterday but rash only seems redder. Should probably stick to indoors/using sunscreen for now.

Congratulations! That must feel amazing! I have the rash on my back, chest and abdomen and it's not showing many signs of fading after 3 weeks. 

I've begun sunbathing for about 10 minutes a day--did you use sunscreen? I tan easily but don't want to burn/leave permanent marks on my skin. I'm part Italian/olive-skinned. I bought so zinc oxide sunscreen, but don't know if I want to use it since it has parabens/oxybenzone in it.

I have had the same results within a week. I was diagnosed on Monday and its now Sunday and you would never know I had PR. All I did was bath every day in oilatium then put some lipkar from la roche posea on straight after. I was also prescribed betnovate cream, Erythromycin and telefast. Along with a sunbed every other day a prayer. I am blessed it's nearly disappeared as I am going on holiday next Saturday so please do not despair people you can get rid of this unsightly rash within two weeks

Hi, I'm new to this forum. I would like to share my experience and gain some insight from the community here. I'm staying in Singapore. 

16 September, I managed to book an appointment with Skin Specialist. I was having bad rashes at the inner thigh for almost 2 weeks plus.  I was being prescribed with 7 days fungal infection tablets, Travacort ointment and cimetidine, antihistamine tablets.  It got worst on 18 September. It has spread the entire abdomen and under breast. It was very itchy too.   

19 September, I visited my doctor again. I had diagnosed with PR. Dr advised me to continue with antifungal tablet till it full course. On top of that I was being prescribed with erythromycin, prednisolone, famotidine and 1 tub of dermasone cream. I was given 4 days mc to be rest at home. 

As I'm new to this disease, I diligently take my medication without failed. The itchy got worst on 21 September and I couldn't sleep. I had to take piriton to subside the itch. Since I couldn't sleep, I begin to source all online articles about PR. Someone introduce Prreze cream. Immediately I placed my order from eBay but I will only receive the shipment on 28 Sep - 5 Oct.  I was desperate as I want to attend my brother's wedding, which next Saturday. 

22 Sep, as per what been shared by others in forum, I starts to take 1000 mg of vitamin C (Redoxin triple action), bath 3 times a day with Head & Shoulder Antidandruf shampoo (cool menthol), apply Densitin baby rash cream (maximum strength) after shower and if it's itch again at night, I apply calamine lotion. I still continue with my prescribed drugs. I stand infront my window just to get the morning sunlight for 5 mins ( total 10 mins front and back).

23 Sep, I've seen some changes. Bumps begin to flatten though it still looks red. Some bumps even turned darker and flaky especially inner thigh and genital area.  Bumps near the chest begins to dry up and I presumed because of the sun ray.  Yes, some improvements but there're some white spots appear on my inner thigh. My skin was dry too. After the afternoon bath, I generously apply aloe vera gel on my whole body. Tonight, I will apply aloe vera gel follow by calamine lotion. 

I will monitor the situation and update again. I try not to apply Steroids cream at this moment. Maybe I'm paranoid. Just to share, I discard 20 years old mattress. I disinfect my bedding, clothes and towels with KAO oxygen bleach and ensure all properly SUN DRIED!

I have also been vegetarian for almost a week. No beans or legumes to prevent itchy. No spicy food too. Stay calm and relax during this period though I knew I will be very busy with work when I step to office on Monday and I need to submit my MBA assignment a week later.  Anyway, I will sort it out later. At this moment, I will just stay positive, relax and meditate. 

I will update my progress again.
