How long does Pityriasis Rosea normally last?


Preferably information from anyone who has had this rash.
And any other information I should know about it.
(itching reliefs, how to cover it up, duration, how long until it starts to fade, etc.)

I just got this rash like two and a half weeks ago. I just need information from people who actually have had this--- not just links to WebMD, I've already looked there.
----------

well, i use to have it and it only lasted about maybe 6weeks i believe.
For me it use to itch sometimes, but don't scratch.  (+ info)

How do you get rid of keratosis pilaris?


I have keratosis pilaris and am desperate to get rid of it. Anybody that knows a way to get rid of it, has an idea or has experienced it themselves could u please help. this is making me very self conscious :(

thx so much!!
----------

I had this condition as well. The "permanent goosebumps" may not seem like a big deal to other people, but I understand how you feel! I have found KP will resolve once nutritional deficiencies are resolved.

The two main things needed are:

1. High quality omega-3 supplement like Neptune Antarctic Krill oil. You will also need to back off consumption of omega-6 rich foods because omega-6 competes with omega-3 for absorption.

2. Adequate minerals. You will want to consider how mineral rich your diet is (probably a little low is my guess!) as well as how well you are absorbing the minerals you take in. Some things that helped me are Vital Earth fulvic minerals (results in just days), cultured foods and drinks (like kombucha, kefir and kimchee) and a Betaine HCl pill that helps me to break down and absorb the foods I eat. I tend to have low stomach acid (many if not most people do!) which makes it difficult to absorb nutrients, especially minerals and fats. No wonder I had KP!

Try the recommended things above and see how your skin improves.

Has anyone found a succsesfull treatment for KERATOSIS PILARIS?


My 14 year old daughter has karatosis pilaris which is a hereditary affliction that causes thick plugs in the pores of her upper arms to make bumpy skin. Nothing seems to eliminate it. Has anyone tried anything that works?
I have taken her to doctors and they always prescribe steroids. I am hoping there is something less steroidal.
----------

I have it, but I have not found anything that really works to get rid of it. There is a site called www.dermadoctor.com which has stuff for it there. It's called KP Duty. I used it, which it smooths out the skin helping get rid of the bumpiness. But my skin was still reddish. I don't know if you daughter's skin is red or not. The stuff does work to smooth it, but it doesn't really work to get rid of the redness. There really isn't anything you can to do get rid of it.  (+ info)

what other symptoms do you get with Pityriasis Rosea?


I,have been diagnosed with pityriasis rosea......am feeling really ill....new rashes keep appearing. What other symptoms are common? How long does it last?
----------

I have had it and it lasted about 4 weeks. However Pityriasis rosea usually goes away within 6 - 12 weeks. The itching was the worst for me the Doctor gave me a benovate 1n 4 solution to calm it down I had it over christmas a few years back. If you have the rashes you should have no futher sysptoms than you already have. Apart from swollen glands and the rash I didnt have any other symptoms. My doctor had never seen it before outside of medical texts and had to show his colleage. It is nothing serious and should pass with out getting any worse. Also once the symptoms have gone you should have life long immunity. Apart from looking rather scary it is a mild skin ailment hope you recover quickly.

Need suggestions for products to manage keratosis pilaris?


I have keratosis pilaris on my back and shoulders. I exfoliate and moisturize like I was told to do, but this doesn't help with the redness. Although it keeps my skin smooth and healthy otherwise. I was wondering what products some of the users on here have tried that help the redness. There is a gel called Keralyt by Summers Laboratories that I want to try but it's a bit pricey. Thanks in advance!
----------

I have keratosis pilaris on the bottom part of my cheeks, on my chest, and a little on my back. I use differin cream acne medicine, cetaphil cleanser, and eucerin calming cream moisturizer. The moisturizer is to reduce redness and works great. I also use mary kay microdermabrasia* which is great but expensive. (any sandy exfoliant is great)

You have to go to the dermatologist for differin cream or gel but it works so good. Its made by the same company that makes cetaphil. Definately try eucerin its cheap.  (+ info)

Are Laser treatment or surgeries work for Keratosis Pilaris?


I have Keratosis Pilaris on my legs for the past two years. I've tried so many dermo suggested creams, drink a lot of water, and take vitamins but nothing seems to work.

I'm thinking about getting a Lesar Treatment or a surgery. Do you think it would work?
----------

I would be interested to know if you have tried Tretinoin for this. This usually gets worse in the winter, better in the summer. Be sure your vitamins inslude Vitamin A.  (+ info)

About 3 months ago, i had rashes all over my torso..i went to a dermatologist to seek consult. She said i have this self limiting skin disease called pityriasis rosea..prescribed me antihistamines and triamcinolone cream to ease the itchiness.. a few weeks later the rashes was seen all over my body leaving scars up to now...its still itchy and the scars are very visible speacially at my legs..

Is there something i can do to get rid of these scars?
----------

go back to the doctor until then try fresh aloe. i'm no expert but aloe is good for scaring. so is rose hip seed oil but i don't know if you can use that on a rash. it is used to fade scars , marks etc.  (+ info)

Does the Clarisonic skincare brush work for pilaris?


Hi

I have KP on my arms/thighs. I am thinking of purchasing the Clarisonic brush but am wondering if it works for clearing pilaris as well?

Thank you =)
----------

Exfoliation always helps pilaris and clarisonic also does exfoliation, so I guess it might help.  (+ info)

What's the best way to cover Keratosis Pilaris for a few hours?


I have severe Keratosis Pilaris on my legs and it sucks that I cannot wear skirts, shorts, swim suits or anything short. Its been here for almost 2 years now and I don't know what to do.

I was wondering if anyone knows how I could cover it for a couple hours or something. I wanna wear a nice skirt and sit by the lake :(...
----------

You might try tanning once or twice a week, this has proved to be very effective. The use of tea tree oil and Lubriderm at night has also proved of benefit. When washing in the evening, try sulphur soap with a body scrubber. Clearasil vanishing cream and Lubriderm again in the morning. This should give you a continuing improvement.
I add a link which discuses the condition.
