ok so this rash started as one patch.. then within a couple of weeks had spread all over my upper abdomen area..and spread a little around my upper hips. at first i thought it was ringworm so spent a good week and good amount of money on anti fungal creams which only seemed to make the rashes spread. the rashes started out as little fluid filled blisters and gradually spread outwards in patches, which were very itchy. i am left very very scaley, dry, bumpy smaller spots that i hope are a sign of this rash healing. does this sound like it to you??

    I was 'diagnosed' yesterday as having PR. Like you, mine started like little pin-head raised spots that got bigger then sort of 'opened' to have a little frill of skin around them.

    Did this happen to you ?

    What have you used and has it worked ?

    All I've been given is some Hydromol and told to take antihisamines.

    I'm 72 so probably a lot older than you. Never thought I'd get a skin complaint at my age !
