I was also diagnosed with PR a week ago today, told by my doc there was nothing you can do, just wait it out! 2-12 weeks was the time frame. Being an impatient person the minute I got the name I looked on line and found a bunch of people saying to try indoor tanning boothes. I am also fair skinned and have never tanned before, but got exactly the same results as this post above! Tingling/itching in the areas with PR immediately after the tan, by the time I went to bed it had stopped and on only 2 trips to the salon it is peeling a lot more and itching less (redness has gone down too). Hopefully will have another 2 trips before the week is out and it will continue fading. Although I would never consider sunbeds normally, if you are diagnosed with PR go to a sunbed as quickly as you can! Short times, every day. I really hope you will see a difference!
