PR is spreading and I’m desperate to clear it up as soon as I can for a trip

Posted , 2 users are following.

Around 3 weeks ago, I was sick and stressed out due to exams. I noticed a large spot on my back around the same time but I just assumed it was a dry patch caused from the rubbing of my sports bra. I then noticed a dark red oval patch on my calf. It’s now completely spread around my bra line, ribs, down my back and near my butt. It’s not itchy at all which I’m thankful for but it’s so embrassing.   I have been using head and shoulders as a body wash for 3 days and have been using cortisone cream, tea tree oil and coconut oil on different spots to see which would be working better.  I know this takes time to clear up but I am desperate!!! I don’t want this rash to be on my body for my trip in a month. I’m very active and eat fairly healthy. I increased my vitamin C and water intake hoping this helps. Some spots on my ribs are so red and seem to be spreading down my back. I’ve sat outside for a couple days hoping the sun will help. Does anyone recommend going in a tanning bed?  any other tips for getting rid of this or other products to be used would be greatly appreciated too!
