I made a post awhile back regarding the red spots over my body. Well they have been increasing. I had hives last year but this is nothing like hives. For one thing they don't appear and reappear. These stay on 24/7. Also after a couple days the red marks appears to 'dry' out and have peices of dry skin on them.

I have good news and bad news. Went to the doctor today. Looks like I have Pityriasis rosea. The good news is that its not serious. The bad news is that I have to wait 6-12 weeks for it to heal!

hello,
i was recently diagnosed with pityrisis rosea and was told once you get it you never get it again?? it started in mid april and i've noticed i am getting less
spots. i would wake up every day with new ones. now they are few and far between. i hope i don't get this every spring! is it less severe each time?
