I was misdiagnosed. It's not a bacterial infection. The antibiotics did nothing for me. I went to the dermatologist today. Within two minutes she knew what it was: Pityriasis rosea.
The best part was this: There is nothing you can do to speed it up. It usually lasts within 6 to 12 weeks. Best case scenario, it will be gone in three weeks. Worst case scenario, you will have it for 9 more weeks.
The itching is driving me crazy. I was given topical steroids to calm the itching, which I have to pick up tomorrow because the pharmacy didn't have it in stock today.
Hey, maybe I'll get the Christmas tree pattern. Joy!
