I had PR for almost 4 months. I didn't have the classic Christmas tree on my back. It was mainly on my legs. I honestly have no idea WHAT worked as I tried so many things it could have been anything. BUt when I finally talked myself into going tanning, that is when it started to go away. Immediately after it was aggravated but the next day it was so much better. I only went for a few mins each time (3-8 minutes) and I went every other day for about 2 weeks. Also used organic coconut oil at night. I think I got it because I has psoriasis years ago. Read that something stays dormant and an infection can set it off. I had a very sore throat for a couple of weeks before it started but wasn't sick at all. I had a very large herald patch in my leg and as soon as that went away, all of it did. The rash was mainly on my legs but it was horrible. I had hundreds of spots. So hang in and maybe give the tanning a shot. I stopped using moisturizers as it seemed to inflame it. Good luck to all and yes....it will go away eventually.
