early signs ??

[archie]

Hellllo everyone,
Can anyone tell me if they can remember how p started to show early signs of developing?
As most of you know, I suffer from ppp, which is mainly on my feet, so I don't really know very much about p.
Over the last 7-10 days I have noticed about 10 small (10mm) reddish blotches on my body. They are only on the trunk of my body and a couple on my neck. They don't itch or hurt.
It may just be a rash (hopefully), but I'm really scared incase its the beginning of p.
Any info would be a big help.
Thanks, Lianne x

hi lianne that sounds like how my p starts when it comes back... i get small dots that then start to grow..
hopefully you are right and is just a rash.. i would go get it checked out if it dont go after the weekend.. have it confirmed and trated right!

When mine 1st started it was just a cut behind my ear which then grew bigger and pin prick marks appeared over my body which just grew!

Hi Lianne,

I have had a rash on my body that looked similar to the ppp on my feet and hands...saw emergency derm who said thought they looked like bits or allergy..I am still getting them on and off months later but they did develop into anything.

Keep an eye on them esp as you get ppp, very rare to get it anywhere but hands and feet but just a note of caution as can be dangerous if widespread...sure it isnt, if worried call gp or derm...did you get that letter yet?

hi hun mine started with a small red patch on my shin which when i cut my leg in the same place with my bike chain turned into a larger red scaley patch, but a few yrs later i did wake one morning and had the red spots which didn't last long, so here's hoping urs is just a rash babe

Mine started after I got chickenpox aged about 11. " of the blisters neners healed and turned anto psoriasis. Then gradually over the years it just started to spread and spread.
Try and get it checked out to put your mind at rest.

Can't remember when it first ever started - too young :-/ but after a period of being clear, it starts to appear with one red spot, and then another red spot appears, and another until they start grouping together.
