Hi all, here's a little background on my history with PF:   About a couple months ago, after about an hour of sun tanning in the hot California sun, I developed what looked like a rash on my ches...

Good to hear of your success! I have found good results with tea tree oil too, although it is a spot treatment more than a preventative one. I still wish I had a preventative... Did you modify your di...

Ive had MF for over a year now, doctor continuosuly diagnosed it as acne, although no acne treatment helped, just made it worse. It came up after using minocycline, which unfortunately I'm still on :/...

I definitely don't think you should stop yourself from going out and having a good time! Go to the beach, go to the waterpark, whatever you want. This will resolve itself and you should live your lif...
