Hello Everyone,
I was diagnosed with PR about 4 weeks ago. My spots have gone dark and started to dry out and flake, so I think I am on the upswing. It seems impossible that my skin will ever go back to normal but everyone assures me that it will be okay. I had a few questions for anyone who was out there and has gone through this before:
1: Did you get the PR on your face? This has been one of the most horrifying parts of the disease. I'm interviewing for grad school with small PR dots all over my skin.
2: After news spots stopped appearing, how long did it take for the PR to heal? I think I am in the healing stage at the moment and am just wondering how much longer I'm in for.
3: Were there any tips about the healing stage that were essential for a full recovery? Moisturizers, vitamins, tanning? I'd love to hear any and all suggestions.
4: Did anyone else not have a ton of success with Prreze? It definitely cleared up the PR on my forehead, but I had little success anywhere else. I didn't start treating it with Prreze until about two weeks in however...
If you're reading this just at the beginning of PR, I promise you it starts to get better. I'm about halfway there, and at the beginning I would have never imagined that I could look and feel okay again. Hang in there. It will be okay.
