I was first diagnosed when I was about 8,I don't remember haveing it only that me and my sister called it "philadelphia roses".
Again at 11 or 12(I was sleeping on the floor that night and I thought there were fleas in the carpet that bit me..no PR again).
Ten years later I'm sitting here thinking I have outbreak number three. My experiences were NOT like any of yours. It was itchy,yes, but not to the point of being too extremely uncomfortable.And it lasted maybe a month. I have what I think is a "herald patch" on my neck(lucky me). Thought it was a hickey in the begining*lol* Then it got bigger.Ringworm?my doc said he didnt think it was and referred me to a dermatologist. I told him I've had PR twice but I guess that didnt help him because I'm making this appointment when the office opens tomorrow.
I don't have any other patches(rash,whatever) yet and now I'm super paranoid I'm going to wake up with all those little "bite" marks like last time. This sucks...but you guys know that.
