Eczema Treatment Care

Question by Bernie: Do I have inverse psoriasis or is it my alcoholism?
I have seen many, many dermatologists, and no one can figure out what is wrong with me. Whenever I sweat, I get a rash under my “right” armpit, never my left. NEVER my left, just my right armpit. Sometimes I get a rash in other skinfolds, but normally it is isolated in my right armpit.

It all began about two years ago. One day rashes started breaking out between my legs, and before I knew it, I was in the hospital getting serious antihistamine treatment–during this first out-break, my armpits were completely covered, my neck was covered, the folds of my knees were covered, and my elbow folds were covered in rashes. The Doctor put me on prednisone and it zapped it, but ever since I have been battling this rash under my right armpit. And it gets to hurting sometimes.

But this is the catch: I am a very, very bad drinker. I used to drink up to a fifth (of liquor) a day, and now I drink 12 to 18 beer a day. A famous psoriasis specialist, who I contacted via email, said that drinking is my problem–I am 23 years old and she believes drinking is my problem. But my local dermatologists have sent biopsies that have come back distorted: one will say psoriasis, another will say spongyitis dermatitis, and another will say dermatititis.

Can anyone tell me what I have? What to do in response to it? The psoriasis specialist who said it is my alcoholism said for me to quit drinking and take lots of Zinc supplements. Is this maybe the solution?

If you plan to help me, I can email you and articulate further.

Hi
I can understand your frustration for being unable to solve your problem. I have a problem similar to yours but on my finger and it is only on one of my left finger. About 10 years ago, I had a sudden outbreak of rashes all over my body and the doctor gave me some cream to apply and it managed to control it after a couple of weeks.

Unfortunately the rash on my finger start to appear once in a while. Though applying cream help to control it, the real cause of the problem was not found until I consulted my company doctor during a routine checkup. He told me that it could be some sort of food allergy Everytime after an outbreak, I will try to recall what I had eaten the day before and list it down. After enough info had been collected, I started testing by eating one type of food for that day to see if there is an outbreak. By elimination process, I managed to nail the culprit and it was seafood especially prawns and cuttlefish. By not eating these food, the outbreak actually stopped.

You can try this process also. Maybe there is some ingredients in the beer that is causing the problem.

If you still think that it is psoriasis, I would suggest using a cream from Revitol Skin Care Product called Dermasis Psoriasis Cream and it works to help control your skin symptoms in a smooth, non-greasy formula that absorbs quickly—and will not stain your clothes or skin.

The product unique formulation of ingredients not only soothes and moisturizes your skin, but its active ingredient also helps control the scaling and flaking associated with Psoriasis to help your skin to heal naturally.

Question by Arianna’s Mommy: FLEAS! HELP PLEASE!!!?
We went away last weekend and normally I take our dog Tyco everywhere with us, but because we are still working on his jumping problem, I had to leave him with “friends” as my step-dad just had surgery and I couldn’t risk Tyco jumping on him.

When I returned Monday to pick my baby up, he was scratching like mad. Well, I rolled him over onto his back, his entire chest, belly, groin, armpits and neck are flea bitten and bright red! I’ve seen fleas and their bites before, even seen flea allergy dermatitis with our dog growing up, but this is different. He is bright red on his belly, actually looks like he’s burned! I called the moronic “friends” who dogsat for us and they told me he flea dipped him. GRRRRRRRRR I NEVER EVER EVER use the dips, powders, shampoos, sprays, collars….I know they are toxic. I stupidly believed that fleas weren’t an issue in our area and didn’t think twice about sending him to stay with these people. STUPID STUPID ME!!! I’m so angry with myself for not using a preventative on him! I attempted to contact the clinic we use, because I recently lost my job and no way can I afford to take him to the area vet, well, they have no appointments until next week, so I scheduled the appointment.

In the meantime, I couldn’t bare to watch him suffer, so I went to Petco and bought Frontline Plus, cost me a fortune, but I knew I had no choice. I applied the Frontline Plus yesterday at 4 pm. He is definitely scratching less, but still scratching nonetheless and is now chewing at himself. I’m hesitant to use the bitter apple spray I’m afraid it will burn.

My question is…..a full 24 hours application, should he still be biting and scratching? I know obviously the bites are still there so they are going to itch, but he’s biting at himself, I’m afraid the Frontline isn’t working properly.
I forgot to add….I immediately bathed him when I found this on his belly with oatmeal bath, which seemed to reduce redness significantly. The rash is ONLY on his underside, I’ve thoroughly looked him over and he is not red anywhere but his underside, which is the only reason I felt it safe to use the Frontline. I bathed him a second time on Tuesday morning before I left to buy the Frontline (yes he was thoroughly dry before I applied it). And I’ve been applying aloe to his underside as well.

I too was thinking a reactiion to the flea dip, perhaps it wasn’t diluted properly or left on too long.
Dont’ tell me they aren’t toxic! 5 years ago, we used a powder on our dog and he went into seizures because of it!!! They ARE toxic and I will NEVER use them!
I WENT TO MY MOTHER’S HOUSE BECAUSE MY STEP DAD JUST HAD HEART SURGERY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOT THAT IT’S ANY OF YOUR BUSINESS!!!!!
The shelter I adopted him from has a clinic, we pay anually and visits are free, we just pay for vaccines and meds.
Why would I pay the vet 0 when I can see a vet free!?

Answer by ladystang
probably a reaction to the flea dip
i would have taken to groomer and had them give a good bathing to get rid of it.
putting frontline on probably made it worse.
get a cone and see if that helps.

Question by mIsS vIcE: Homework help! Please!?!?!?
Hi everybody!

I have some trouble with my english homework.

What mistakes do you found in the following phrase?

Thaks!!!! (k)

“”"Our goal while developing this project is to find unexploited markets, by creating original marketing strategies that will improve the market share of Sporto Company. Our company’s main objective is the maximization of profits through the final consumer’s satisfaction with a product of global excellence.
Besides being a product that takes care of environment, the use of 100% organic cotton made infant apparel can protect the skin of both our children and us. Usually babies and children are more sensitive than adults to synthetic chemicals. Given that fact, choosing clothes made with organic cotton can help to reduce your exposure to harmful chemicals for their skins and bodies. The use of organic cotton clothing for babies, it is highly recommended, since their delicate skin requires extra special care and extra soft tissues that have contact with your skin, especially in those with diseases such as atopic dermatitis.”"”

This is English homework? Not economics, or marketing?

The first thing I find wrong with this paragraph (it’s not a phrase, it’s a paragraph, and it actually should be 2 paragraphs), is that I don’t know what it means, so helping you is difficult.

The next thing wrong with it is that it seems to be dealing with two separate and not necessarily related ideas: The first idea deals with the marketing of the product (I guess). The second idea deals with what qualities make the product desirable (I guess).

The next thing wong with it is that there are grammatical errors–nothing too serious, and some of them are matters of style more than “errors.” But I wouldn’t bother fixing those until I had the ideas sorted out and more clearly stated.

Having said all that, I don’t know what the assignment was, so these criticisms may be off base. Also having said all that, it’s not awful–it needs clarity, more than anything.

Question by staceyN: Tiny red bumps, patchy red areas that itch behind ears and on face. Anyone know what it is?
Yesterday, I noticed the skin behind both ears felt strange and bumpy. I had someone look and they said it looked irritated – red with tiny little bumps. This morning it has spread to one side of my face and onto my neck, and it itches. These bumps are very tiny and pinkish red, causing me to look like I have hives sort of.

A friend thinks it just seems like contact dermatitis, but I’m not sure about that. I’ve had that on my hands before and it didn’t spread and was not like this. Should I go to the doctor, or will this go away on its own? Thanks.

If it’s Garnier fake tan spray , it;s probably it. Caused me an itching under my left eye, and dry patches.

Perhaps you are allergic to a hair dye. Or something. It sounds as if it is an allergic reaction to something. Maybe something you ate, like strawberries…? Summertime…

Eat lots of garlic and drink lots of green tea as it will protect you against everything. Unless you are allergic against that…

Best of luck.
