| So the rashes outbreak I had a couple of weeks ago turns out to be Pityriasis Rosea and not Eczema (Thank God!).
It all started when a single scaling patch appeared on the right side of my abdomen. It did itch but I didn't took it seriously as I thought that it was just some minor skin irritation. A couple of days after that, the rest of the rashes start spreading rapidly all over my body, especially my arms and legs, and they looked gross!
Before going to
the dermatologist, we thought that it is eczema as the rashes are dry and itch a lot. I can't help scratching them all the time and didn't sleep well every night. The boyfriend's mom made me various remedies to soothe my skin but nothing worked. 
So what exactly is Pityriasis Rosea?
According to wiki, Pityriasis rosea is an acute, self-limiting skin eruption with a
distinctive and constant course, with an initial lesion or grouping of
lesions ("herald patch") that is followed after 1 or 2 weeks by a
generalized, much more spread, secondary rash with a typical
distribution and lasting for about 6 weeks. It is non-contagious and can affect members of either sex and at any age.
My dermatologist told me that it is a viral infection and the cause of Pityriasis Rosea is unknown. Steroid creams and medications were given for itch relief but it didn't speed up the clearance at all. It is said that Pityriasis Rosea clears up by itself in six to twelve weeks and leaves no scar. Well, it's been 3 weeks since the outbreak and my skin had almost returned back to normal. It is also rare for second attacks of Pityriasis Rosea if you had it before (phew!).

| Woah, this week has been a super busy week for me!
Went to try new samples for gipsy scarlet on Monday.
Absolutely in love with them..!
Expect more pretty chiffon dresses, GUESS-inspired studded denim dress (super hot!), dresses seen in Paris Hilton, Taylor Swift and more!
Yup, all are exclusively manufactured so you can only get them at GS :)
I've also launched gipsy scarlet's 2nd collection on Wednesday and have been working non-stop since!
Am trying to clear as many parcels and delivery by tomorrow as I won't be in town for a week.
Ooh, I can't wait for the next CNY collection featuring pretty cheongsam dresses and tops!
One of the dress is similar to the geisha dress by Alexander McQueen. :)
I wonder why it's named Geisha dress when it's actually a cheongsam?
Anyway, GS's version come in 4 colors :)
Quality is assured!
Alrighty, I'm heading off to clear my emails now.
Will update again when I'm back :)
