    YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The rash is gone!!!!! Most people it fades in 3 to 6 weeks, some it takes months, BUT it will fade to skin color sooner or later. If you are concerned about eh cosmetic look, go buy some Dermablend, that is a super high pigment foundation formulated for people with vitiligo and varicose veins. Yes, I know, a "normal" foundation does not cover it.
