Anyone ever had pityriasis rosea??

Anyone ever had pityriasis rosea?? Ive read some studies by people from Italy who say it causes misscarriages???

Hi Mrsplant. Yes, it has been known to cause miscarriage, but it’s not common and you would need a bad dose of it. That was just one study done in Italy, and I don’t believe it is catching. If you have it you will be carefully monitored. Diane

Hi. Oh dear! Hopefully it will soon have run its course and you can carry on with your cycle. Hope you’ve got some cream for it?? I’m sure the clinic will advise you. Keeping my fingers crossed. Diane xx

This is what made me ask.. cuz i had to find an emergency chemist open on a Sunday evening because i couldnt take any more of the itching

Hi. Oh dear! Any simple moisturiser would help until you can get some “ proper stuff” . Hope the itchiness soon settles. Diane xx

An antihistamine might help with the itching. Another tip is to keep the cream in the fridge if you can bear it- the cold can help settle the skin.

[Mrsplant in reply to Hidden]

I have cream and unfortunately its not helping. Its actually getting me down now

[Hidden in reply to Mrsplant]

Have you tried an antihistamine tablet? That’s the only thing that I can think of to help with the itching x

Hello I know this is a really old post but I just wondered how you got on, I’ve recently found out I have pityriasis rosea it’s awful 😩 I just wondered did they postpone your cycle? I had been hoping to start a fresh round on my next cycle and now wondering if I should postpone and would like to hear about others experience . Thanks in advance xxx
