Pityriasis rosea! I hate it!
Posted , 3 users are following.
I found a mother patch 2weeks ago. I thought it was a bug bite. No big deal and I left it. About 10 days later I start seeing likttle rashes and lil dots on my arm and groin area. So I put some cortisone and didn’t help. Few days later got worse. So I went to quick care and dr said it was pR.
Never heard of it before. And like all the drs. I was told to wait it out. It would last 4-6weeks. But come on ! This is crazy. I can’t live like this for 4-6weeks!!
Hen I came home and start searching about his rash. And read more scary stories. Not sure if their considtion was bad like mine but some had it for 14months? I started using head and shoulder shampoo as my body wash. It burns and feels like it’s making my rash worse at first. Gets all red and pointy. But seems like it worked for everyone so I’m trying it. Doing oatmeal bath. Prreze cream is on the way. Should be delivered in few days. Taking vitamin c , b12. Taking Benadryl for itch and dr prescribed me acyclovir 400mg. Not sure if it’s working but still taking it. I’m really hoping for a best. I really hope that prreze cream will work. It’s so embarrassing. Don’t even want my wife to see my body. I really wanted to go see a dermatologist for second opinion and they might know what can help me but I can’t find any dermatologist that’s available. Earliest I can find was 2 weeks from now on. I live in Las Vegas NV. USA
Worst medical ever!!! But reading lot of post on here makes me feel better and I’m not alone. This rash really brings people down I think. I missed work 2days already.
I just want to share my story. I hope it’ll go away soon so I can help others on this fourm too.
