Does anybody know anything about his skin
problem. I want to know if it is serious
as it looks. The internet is scaring me
with the information I am finding on this
skin problem.
Thanks,
pr

Had This Skin Disease Posted: 07-20-04 12:43pm
About 20 years ago I had this patch of
scaly raised bumps on my collar bone. I
went to the doctor and gave me some salve
and I have never had a reoccurance. The
new studies show if you do not get it
treated soon it could turn into some type
of skin cancer. Please have it checked
out.

Cure For Pityriasis Rosea Posted: 12-01-07 10:40am
I had this for 4 weeks and it was just
getting worse. I tried erythromycin and
it didnt work. I was so frustrated and
down(I have the herald patch and about 20
other small marks). Then, I put
preparation H on all the spots and they
are almost GONE OVERNIGHT! It is a
miracle. Try it. Let me know if this
works for everone else

I'm going to try your suggestion. I've
been putting over-the-counter
hydrocortisone on the spots and taking
benedryl at night. Didn't think it was
doing anything so I quit for 3 days. They
spots got redder, so I started up again
and they have faded back to a dark pink. I
just want them gone.

Pityriasis Rosea Posted: 03-23-08 20:12pm
I've had what I self-diagnoses last spring
as ringworm, dr confirmed, I followed the
normal protocol of pills and cream and it
seemed to stop. Have a large (5x7) dark
spot on the back of my left thigh. Didn't
go away but didn't grow either until
fall/winter arrived. I have now several,
new large spots, pink with raised bumps
around the perimeter in my groin area and
lots of little spots on my inner and
outer thighs, basically from my hip bone
to below on my knee on left leg and moving
that way on my right leg. the little
spots ich when they are new or when they
get hot.
Dr now thinks it is something 'serious'
like a thyroid disorder/immune deficiency,
gave me a prescription for steriod cream
which I ditched.
I've spent most of this afternoon on the
net researching and finally came to the
realization that my symptons resemble
mostly this PR thing and the first
treatment I'm going to try is Preparation
H. I will post my findings.
