Pityriasis Rosea

[Liva]

Has anyone had it before?

[Shar]

No, but I know of people who've had it and it's not very pleasant.

[Cerys]

What is it? Anyone wanna explain for the dumb people amongst us?

[Samantha]

I don't think I've ever had it, nor would I want to. It doesn't look good.

"Pityriasis rosea is a skin rash that begins with a large scaled spot followed by clusters of smaller patches. It can last around six to eight weeks and does not leave a permanent scar or mark. No treatment can speed recovery but the symptoms can be managed."

Just wondering if anyone else has had it, and what their experiences were like with it. It's supposed to last for two months at most, but I've had it for almost 6 months now and they still seem to be developing. They're everywhere except for my feet, hands and they haven't quite made it to my lower legs yet, they're so embarassing!
Considering seeing a dermatologist. Thoughts?
