MY PITYRIASIS ROSEA STORY!!!!

So most of the stories I've read in these forums are usually vague and don't really give people the answers and hope they need. Let me tell you my "PITY" story in hopes that it will lift your spirits and help you through this....
AHEm..this is the story of my pityriasis rosea outbreak and healing...lol

I am 25 years old and african american
So one day I was driving and my friend looked at my arm and said i was breaking out. I looked at ny arm and say a couple of bumps, i simply thought they were heat bumps and brushed them off.. later that day i went home and not thinking i looked at my arm and saw it was covered in many many small bumps...i have no allergies and have never had a reaction to anything. The bumps were not itchy at all and i live in florida and I'm constantly in the sun so again i thought it was a simple heat rash, so i tried to stay inside out of the sun. The next morning I woke up and not only were there more bumps, I saw they had spread to my other arm, This is the point when I started to panic, I began to think about all the things iI had done and the only different thing i could think of was the fact I had eaten peanuts from a spanish women the day before so I thought I may have been allergic or something, But hell I've eaten peanuts all my life so I know that wasn't the issue. So like every one else I took it to the web, I ruled out any STD'd because I practice safe sex, and I haven't been active for a month (BY CHOICE lol)
I couldn't find anything that matched my symptoms....days went by and the bumps now covered my chest, my back, my neck, shoulders, and neck, eventually they would cover my face. By this point it had been 4 days, and these tiny bumps covered my body except my hands and my feet. Day 5 I happened to get in a car accident and found myself in a hospital, the nurses took off my shirt and were confused and amazed by the rash that covered my body, the doctor asked me a few questions and explained to me that I had something called Pityriasis Rosea, I WAS RELIEVED TO FIND OUT THIS MAN KNEW WHAT THIS WAS!....until he told me there was no cure, and I thought I would catch a heart attack, WHERE DID IT COME FROM?!? was my first question, but then he tells me HES not sure of the cause...No Cause...No cure....you could imagine what I was thinking. He simply smiled and said I had absolutely nothing to worry about as it would go away In a few weeks. Now Im a good looking young man...and when he told me I would look like this for weeks i almost threw my phone away as my social life had died.
       A week had gone by and these bumps had now become Raised Skin colored Patches all over, Whe  i took my clothes off, I SAW THE CHRISTMAS TREE PATTERN all over my chest and back, by this point it started to Itch like CRAZY..THIS WAS THE WORST ITCH IMAGINABLE, It was one time were every point on my body itched at the same time and I could only choose to scratch two places...I wanted to cry. I went to the store and got some **YES TO COCONUT WIPES**, **BENEDRYL**,**HEMP LOTION**,**ORGANIC MINT BODY WASH**. I immediately took a shower and used the MINYT BODY WASH, and immediately felt relief, It was as if a cool feeling covered my body, I got out of the shower, and took some benedryl, for the first time i was able to relax. It wasn't until night time that again I had an itching episode, I used the coconut wipes, and again I was relieved..I was amazed the coconut wipes worked so well, I grabbed them randomly looking for moisturisers but yet these worked better than anything else. Morning I put on the Hemp lotion with seemed to keep the patches calm, and whenever i started itching i used the coconut wipes..I found relief using these for the next few days..

days later all the patches seemed to get flat and now my skin looked very...scaly? and dry? if that made since. I didn't care...I was just glad the bumps were gone, but now I had this to deal with..Ithe patches seemed to get flaky and just rub off. So i thought i had begun healing...unitl the itching started again..The coconut wipes didn't seem to work on this phase but the hemp seemed to keep my skin moist whenever I was drying out.
   I was now 2 weeks into the rash and now my skin seemed to get dry and flaky where ever the bumps were...I was shedding everywhere...and itching. My friend told me about how his mom used to get flaky skin when she was doing cancer treatments. So i talked to her and she told me she used **Cocobutter Petroleum Jelly** **Jergens Shea Butter Deep conditioning moisturisers** **Lotion with Aloe extract** and **aquaphor healing ointment** and i was to apply the all in that order. I put them on and for the first time since I had this god forsaken rash...My skin Felt Normal, I could see that where my skin was peeling there was light patches, It was like the darker layer of my skin was peeling off revealing a new lighter layer. Days went by and the itch became less, but I was flaking more and more, my skin looked rough and even when i scratched my head flakes began falling out, I then went and got **HEAD AND SHOULDERS SHAMPOO AND CONDITIONER**, after about 3 times the flakes on my hair began to stop. I said hell why not, I used the head and shoulders shampoo and conditioner as body wash. After about three showers, and the application of the lotions, my skin began to look like its original texture, but i still had the light patches everywhere. at first I was scared to go back out in the sun because i thought thats what started this whole mess. But my skin tone began to even out the more time i spent in the sun. The itching became less and less, AND ONLY ITCHED IF I THOUGHT ABOUT IT.
   3 Weeks in the flakes were now non existant, you could barely notice the light patches, the first part to completely clear up was my face, and I COULDN'T stop smiling. Although my skin would get dry from time to time. I was still showering with the head and shoulders and applying all four lotions. The next week all the light spots were gone, I wasn't flaking but my skin was only getting a little dry but It was completely back to the way it was before this rash started.
