I was diagnosed with pityriasis rosea almost 6 weeks ago. Apparently it takes 6-8 weeks to disappear, but I keep finding new spots every time I shower, new red spots seem to pop up. The first ones I got seem to keep changing. Does anyone know what these spots are meant to look like before they just disappear?

Hi I'm a 19 year old girl, and I've had PR for over aweek and half now. I'm so embarrassed having this I have it on my stomach, back, legs and private area! Me reading theses comments freak me out I've been told I'll have it for 3 weeks and then it will go away? What's the best cream or product to get rid of it. Please and thanks in advance x

My daughter had it for 2 weeks first of June and she was getting nervous because was getting married on July 8th 3 days ago. So I researched everything. Found this cream called Prreze. I sent for it right away. She put it on for 3 days and it started getting a little better but was still itching so she continued to use it. Plus she went to beach one day and got quite a bit of sun. A few days later it started drying up and by the time the wedding came it was gone. She does still have a few brown marks but they seem to be fading. I know how you all feel because I sadly had to watch her go through the same thing. If you need any other info please email me at [email protected]

The Prreze people have a face book that is how I found them. They truely care they kept emailing me asking about Ashley.

Prreze is a all natural product I gave a try after finding great reviews for it online. It WILL clear up your PR no matter the severity within 3-5 days as long as you follow the instructions. I used this for my little brother and it worked. It shocked and amazed us. Now we keep this around just in case we need it as the ingredients are actually beneficial towards a lot of other skin conditions as well. If you're looking for the END ALL BE ALL for Pityriasis Rosea this is IT.

I just wanted to share my experience with PR. I had it for over a year and it was such a romantically and socially embarrassing condition. I did a little research and found out about Prreze. They sell it on ebay and I think there is a site too. But I used ebay. Anyways... I got the 16oz jar and when it arrived I followed the instructions to a T .... desperate to try anything to relieve me of this horrific discomfort. By day 3 I knew it was working... by day 5 my outbreak was clearing up.... by a few weeks my skin was going back to normal. I love Prreze!!! I will buy it again and again it is worth every penny. Hope this helps someone!!

5 months ago I discovered that I had PR. The embarrassment, discomfort and stress that PR has caused me has been ridiculous. I tried a few different things, but didn't really get any relief until I found Prreze online. I did some research because.... well I refuse to use anything unless I know exactly what I'm getting. And loved what I discovered. This is a product that is all natural... and doesn't have any steroids. I decided to take a chance on it and I ordered a decent sized jar.
I wasn't really holding my breath. But I am so glad I tried this product. I applied it for only three days and after taking a two day break at the end of it all.... everything cleared up, right on day five.
I wish Walgreens and CVS sold this stuff!!

I am into my fourth month with PR. At one time, I had eczema, folliculitis and PR -- all at the same time. My PR -- I have it head to foot. And mine itch like mad. I have spent hundreds of dollars in OTC and prescribed meds. I am now going to try the extra virgin coconut oil "cure." If someone told me standing on my head naked in the town square would cure me, I'd do it in a heartbeat. I have been really sick in my life, but this, without a doubt, is the worst illness I have ever had. And yes, I call it an "illness" because it doesn't just itch, it hurts, burns, stings and put me in bed for a solid month. I spent the winter with ice packs on my back. This is an absolutely miserable affliction!

I know how you feel. I had it for 14 months, diagnosed at 9 months by biopsy. I even had sores in my mouth. My dermatologist just said it would go away on its own. I found Prreze on eBay, and it is an all natural cream with no steroids. Mine finally went away when I started using it and has not come back. It took only 5 days. I was thrilled. It is unsightly, itchy, ugly. You cannot live your life with PR. It affects everything. I hope yours goes away soon.

I ordered PRReze on Wednesday and paid a whopping price for fast shipping -- more than the product, in fact. I haven't seen it yet -- but I am desperate to see if it works. I am into my seventh month with this ghastly malady. It's even in my scalp. If I had a magic wand -- forget money -- I'd use it to make ALL of us well again.
