Pityriasis Rosea newly diagnoised
Posted: 01-28-08 20:01pm

I have this weird case of pityriasis rosea. It has covered my chest. My breast are covered. I have very few on the other parts of my body, but it is the most horrific thing I have ever had. Please help me out there if you have found a way to cure this. My doc said no cure wait it out, but it doubles daily. I started with 8 about 2 weeks ago and now I have hundreds. Sad I really would like HELP!

I have it now and I've had it once before. There is no cure. You just have to wait it out cause from what I've read the duration is different for everybody.. The last time I had them on my stomach and a few on my arms. it itched like crazy and took about a month to completely disappear. The only thing I took was benadryl to help with the itching. I cant believe I have it again. I went to the dermatologist this morning and he gave me an ointment to put on it. It doesnt itch like the last time(thank goodness) but the spread is different( they are mostly on my legs and arms now). What really sucks is that I have a vacation coming up which messes with my swimsuit plans. Hopefully it goes quickly.
