Hey everyone I got diagnosed with PR about 4 weeks ago started off on my chest, then my back , I had a few spots on my arms and honestly some on my neck as well , it started off with that patch you see on the first pic on the left then with in 2 days my chest was full of red bumps, I was literally freaking out bc itā€™s my first time ever having this, I went to my primary care doctor and he said ā€œitā€™s PRā€ couple weeks passed by and I sent some picture for him to forward them to dermatology because I was skeptical ,all the in person appointments are weeks/ months from now I wanted answers NOW, dermatology reach back with the same answer ā€œlooks like PRā€. I try to get in my mind that this takes weeks / months to heal but it sucks seeing no progress and finding new patches everyday, but surprisingly as Iā€™m finishing week 4 entering week 5 on Monday the spots have started to fade away and look dry and kinda brownish/ flat so I think thatā€™s a good sign,I still have it kinda bad on my upper arms but as well those look more flat/ brown now than they did before some things Iā€™ve done that I think have helped itā€™s try to reduce as much stress as you can try to not focus on it too much because youā€™ll go nuts just like I did the first 3 weeks and thatā€™s no help , I noticed that mine would get red when taking even slightly warm showers so I stopped and started showering with cold water for 10 min twice a day, morning and night, morning when shower i just wash my body no soap/ no nothing , at night before I sleep I wash my body with scent free soap and I apply Aveeno oatmeal bath solution I get a good amount of powder on my hand and apply it to the affected areas let it sit for about 5 min then wash it off. when out the shower I apply this ointment my doctor prescribed me ( Triamcinolone Acetonide) both times morning and night , also bought vitamin D 2000 IU taking it once a day I seen that it helps but mainly try not to stress about it youā€™ll be okay just know it takes time to heal or for you to see results and donā€™t let this play with ur mental health bc for me it did and thatā€™s a big mistake, try to relax and let it heal on itā€™s own this is just how my experience is going I thought Iā€™d share it and hopefully at least uplift someoneā€™s mood itā€™ll get better ! Hoping for a speed recovery for all of yā€™all going through it .
