Hello,
ive recently had a break out of what is known as pityriasis rosea all over my chest, back, thighs and somewhat on my biceps. sometimes areas flare up and get itchy but for the most part it is just hundred of red dots and small scaly lesions. it looks very sickly and is making me very self conscious / feel low about my body appearance. Im told it takes some weeks and it goes away by itself.
i couldn't really find anything on the 'viral' rash on this forum. i just heard some stuff about it on reddit - people mentioned it being stress induced / common among college students before exams.
does anyone have any advice or remedies from a peaty perspective on this issue? any help would be greatly appreciated, and hopefully this thread could maybe be helpful to future people with a pityriasis rosea outbreak who search rpf.
---------
background details if anyone is interested:
i'm a young male, follow very peaty lifestyle / inspired nutrition. My temps are good - oral: waking 36.5-8 and daytime 36.8-37.4 // underarm usually at around 36.3-6 (i think it's lower due to me being quite skinny) (waking pulse is 60 -70 ish, daytime pulse is 72-88). i speculate the 'stressor' that may have caused it could be: i have a very very delayed sleep schedule - so i may be having serotonin issues from sleeping through the morning sun for months) or
- it could be from a period of supplementing 5-10 mg of progesterone every night for about a couple weeks (i was doing this for the mental insights / euphoria / calmness) - though i heard that progesterone supplementation interferes w digestion / the creation of substances involved w digestion - and i related to some other users that mentioned progesterone causing them constipation (and for me some endotoxin symptoms). Also around this time of supplementing prog, eating a daily carrot salad began to have opposite effects. The carrot salad used to have a mood boosting / anti anxiety / euphoria effect - then after some time consuming it daily and also taking progesterone - i experienced tinnitus, endotoxin symptoms and less bowel movements. i wonder if this is related to the rash or is worthwhile making another thread on.
(sorry if anything is poorly worded, i am writing this before bed)

My greeting with Pityriasis Rosea
What is Pityriasis Rosea? How do you get it? Well, I noticed a large red itchy patch on my skin, the day that I was leaving for Florida. Apparently this is the ‘mother’ patch of Pityria…
