I've had this weird rash on my stomach for the last couple of weeks. I hate going to the doctor because they normally don't know what is wrong with me (or they say its cancer... but thats a whole other story) and this rash didn't itch it just looked really bad. I tried Benadryl cream but it didn't really help. So I went on trusty WebMD and they didn't have an option for symptoms of a non itchy rash spreading up, only down... ya thats not my problem. So I tried google and sure enough came up with the self/google diagnosis of
Pityriasis rosea
Pretty much its viral so there is no real cause, not contagious, not itchy in one and four suffers so I scored on that one. Anyways glad I could figure it out on my own. Also super glad it is going away. (it last 4-6 weeks) best part: Only 2% of sufferers get it twice!

Ps this is not my stomach (google images) but it looks the EXACTLY the same |
So now if you get a weird rash that doesn't itch you can know not to waste a co-pay and lab fees!

My sister just had that all over her stomach!
Oh... And my sister did some research and found out if you go tanning that can help it go away a lot faster! She did and it worked for her!
