Approximately 5 weeks after my surgery I developed a skin rash (all over my body) which was diagnosed by 2 dermatologists as Pityriasis Rosea (even took cultures to be sure) They say it is unknown what causes it (may be viral in nature) and it is self-limiting, often last approximately 8 weeks.
Well, mine is now going on 10 weeks and while it is not as bad it is still quite noticeable and can be itchy.
Question - has anyone on this board also been diagnosed with this; wondering if there is any relationship to having ileostomy and this rash. Any thoughts appreciated.
