I got PR Aug 3, the herald was on breast then break out all inside of right arm, then a few spots around waist. Itch was intense. Got creams and meds.
Aug 31 going away looks like I will be scared on arm, still will get itchy.
And now Sept. 1 started on left arm one spot so far. I am afraid, it is awful
and the itch almost made me crazy. I hope it doesn't get worse or start up somewhere else!!!!
my son has had Pityriasis rosea for a year, he is VERY healthy and is very active and drinks water...he is only 14 and i dont understand why it wont go away.. is it contractible?
I really do believe there my immune system was weak at the time when I had the pityriasis rosea break outs. I also had chicken pox at the time. Eventhough I already got chicken pox vaccine vaccinated twice. This was still a mystery for me why did I still get it. So I had 2 different kinds of rashes going on at the same time. It was really awful. The chicken pox went away after a week. Pityriasis rosea remained for about a week and a half more.
If you are prego that happens or you might not be giving your body enough vitamins..
I have been diagnosed with PR and I am pregnant. I have it on my genitals. Is it possible? OR should I think this is something else? Also, is this more dangerous for my baby? I'm really worried, can anyone help? Thanks
Hello,
It is true that one attack of pityriasis rosea presents only once but recurrences have been reported in some cases. Topical and oral steroids are needed. Water, sweat, and soap may cause irritation and should be avoided in the disease. Topical zinc oxide and calamine lotion are useful for pruritus.
I would suggest you to consult a dermatologist and get steroids prescribed. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your dermatologist. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
