Please tell me I’m not the only one who has had these lovely little roseas for 8 months
After two viral infections and a pretty stressful period, I developed one large patch on my back. I thought it would go away on its own… but nope. It slowly spread to my buttocks, stomach, armpits, groin, and now even my leg.
My skin used to be super clear and pale, and now I have so much pigmentation/discoloration left behind that I barely recognize my skin anymore.
I’ve seen several doctors and, of course, everyone had a different theory: pityriasis rosea, fungal infection, post-inflammatory pigmentation… I’ve tried different treatments, including pigmentation treatments. At one point I thought the color was finally starting to fade, but unfortunately it didn’t really improve.
And today I noticed new spots spreading onto my leg. 🥲
I’m honestly exhausted and just want to figure out what this is.
If you’ve had something similar, what actually helped you? Was there a treatment, product, test, or even a tiny thing that made a difference for you?
At this point I’m open to hearing everything 😭❤️
Please tell me I’m not the only one going through this.
