Out of the blue your child or even yourself wakes up with blotches all over. Not knowing if its an allergic reaction, a break out due to something she contacted or what. Horrible right?
That's how I felt. After a long wait to see my PCP and an even longer wait during my ER visit I was hit with the news (diagnosis) that my daughter has Pityriasis Rosea.

This was truly an experience that hit my heart, my daughter began to start feeling self conscious due to the rash on her chest that seemed to stretch across her shoulder blade, up her neck down to her sternum. Her physician prescribed her benadryll, told me to consider oatmeal baths and calamine lotion so she wouldn't damage or skin if she got the notion to scratch even though that's what the syrup was for. Since I created a healing balm & Oatmeal chamomile bath soak for just these circumstances this would be the best time to put the products to work so my middle daughter can enjoy life worry free.
Time has passed and my daughter didnt really notice any changes but I noticed some of the dark dry patches were beginning to lighten up, her patches werent dry and they seemed to be getting smaller. She didnt have faith but I did, I knew that with the right botanical break down I can put the moisture back into her skin, soothe those dry patches. With the Chamomile Oatmeal soaks that helped reduce inflammation and help her sleep better.

At this point it was crunch time, Christmas break. This break will give me enough time to get her physically and mentally prepare to go back to school with clearer skin and the confidence she had before. I was still lost as to where and why she got this but I had one mission get her clear.
She truly hated her skin and doubted everything I tried but she did mention how soft her skin was and the larger patch was starting to fade but she didn't want to look like a freak with spots.

Success!
By looking at this picture you can see why I'm so proud to blog this update. My daughter chest is practically clear with no scars, no inflamed areas, her skin is hydrated not just the visual effects but my daughter feels better than before. Confident to get back to school participate in sport and live a normal life without people looking at her neck asking questions or her scratching causing attention to herself.
