Need help!!

Posted , 6 users are following.

So literally just been diagnosed with this after having the 'herald patch' for about 2 weeks and the rest of my body is literally covered everywhere in the red itchy spots and other herald patches. Does anyone have any home remedies for helping this? It's making me feel really depressed as I can't go anywhere or wear anything without feeling uncomfortable 😩 I've been reading about sun beds and washing in head and shoulders shampoo, does this actually work? Heeeeellllppppppp

    Hiya. I had this last year, I'm in the UK and I used aveeno dry skin cream and vitamin D3 after researching online, and they started to fade after about a week of using them. The cream helps the itching too. I know it's horrible, but it does go. I hope you get relief and it goes quickly for you.

    Hey! I've had this for 6 weeks and basically tried everything apart from Sunbeds I'm going to start tomorrow to see if this helps I've spent so much money on remedies I've seen online such as head and shoulders, selsun blue, coconut oil, tea tree oil all creams prescribe by doctors including steroid creams nothing helped me at all, I started taking l-lysine which is a vitamin tablet u will get from holland and barrats I Seen online that it's ment to help within 2 weeks I'm only on my third day taking them.. yet to see results but I think the only option would be Sunbeds unless anyone else has any tips?
