Just Diagnosed Yesterday

Posted , 3 users are following.

I just found this site and, so far, it feels like a Godsend to me. Three days ago there was itching on my left underarm. And then i discovered a pimple there, so i tried to leave it alone. It itched at times. Just yesterday, in the early morning, that pimple was still there and it took a different shape; and then on both underarms there were reddish bumps. When I got to work, I talked to a co-worker about it and he told me that those bumps in the underarms are what happens when there's an allergic reaction to using a wrong kind of detergent. So I just settled at that.

When I got home, I took my clothes off in front of a mirror and just freaked out with what I saw. The bumps had expanded down to my body, legs, and feet. I was going to workout yesterday, but decided to go to an Urgent Care instead. Fortunately there was one very close to where I live. The doctor looked me over and said that it was PR. There was nothing that could be done and no medication. I was told that it would go away in a few weeks.

This is the first time I ever had this. So I'm a newbie in this. I'm feeling very depressed about this.

    It's been a while since I've posted on here. I have to say that I'm very much over this now. For me it was practically all gone in a month. All of the marks are gone now. Just one little spot showing but it's nothing much. I didn't treat it at all, so I don't know what I did to make it go away like it did. But I'm sure glad it's gone! I thought for a while that it was never going away.
