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.

My my 7 year old female Bichon’s (Claudette’s) ears had been bothering her a little so we brought her to the vet and she had ear infections in both ears. We were given medication for her ears to help them and she’s been given the drops since last Wednesday and we’ll stop on Friday. Well, ever since about last Friday she’s not acting herself. She has stopped begging for food which she used to do. It seems like she’s having a hard time hearing. Today I went in the driveway, and usually she’s at the door and she wasn’t. She was laying on my parents bed on the other side of the house, looking at me like “when did you get here?!” I’m worried that she’s losing her hearing. Could the ear drops be doing this? I figured with her begging for food she’d be able to smell what we’re eating, too. We’ve been giving her 250 mg of Cephalexin two times a day, a generous amount of Tri-Otic ear drops into each ear twice a day, and we’ve been washing her every day with Etiderm. (She also has dermatitis at the moment.) She is, like I said, 7 years old and weighs roughly 25 pounds. She IS going to the vet July 11th for a checkup, but if she gets worse the vet WILL be contacted. We love her and we don’t mess around if she’s not healthy.

around October 7th we all went swimming in an overchlorinated hot tub and my sister in law and I both got urinary tract infection’s and my mother in law supposedly got a yeast infection. However, she is currently on Diflucan for that and Lorazapam to help her sleep and there is no relief, her symptoms are redness and rawness on the outside of the vagina and it just hurts as well as she has been complaining of abdominal pain she has no discharge and no odor. She is also very exhausted. These meds aren’t working and she has contacted several doctors (one who didn’t even look) Is there anything else she can try that isn’t going to have all these side effects and does anyone think it could be irritant dermatitis? Help!!!

I was a healthy person for the first twenty-one years of my life. But about two years ago, I broke out in rashes all over my body. My entire groin (not penis, just surrouning areas), armpits, neck, and elbow folds had uncontrollable rashes. Basically all my skin folds. It got worse, so I had to be hospitalized and injected with Benadryl. That didn’t work, so the doctor put me on Prednisone (which is a powerful steroid tablet). Ever since, for the past two years, I have had a recurring rash in my right armpit. Sometimes a rash will appear in my elbow folds, but it goes away. And sometimes, though rarely, I get a rash between my legs. This, too, goes away quickly. But my right armpit is always breaking out in a rash. Never my left, just my right. And it is somewhat debilitating, as it is painful and screws up my social life.
I have seen several dermatologists and had several biopsies. No one can agree with what is happening to me. The biopsies come back as inverse psoriasis or dermatitits. And spongyitis dermatitits. The “inverse psoriasis” biopsy was taken from my armpit, which is where the rash is most severe. The “dermatitis” biopsy was taken from my elbow fold.
One of the dermatologists refuses to accept that I have inverse psoriasis. He just shakes his head and says he doesn’t know. The other doctor finds it hard to believe, but he doesn’t fight the diagnosis. All they do is give me steroid cream.
However, there is a catch. I am a very bad alcoholic. Very bad alcoholic. And this all began not long after I began drinking hard liquor. I have even gone as far to contact a world famous psoriasis specialist who works out of UCLA. I emailed her everything that has gone wrong with me, and was honest with her about my drinking problem. She says that my drinking is causing the rashes. She says that the alcohol is absorbing something in one of my organs and my skin is reacting because of Zinc deficiency. I have not quit drinking, but if someone could maybe convince me that the drinking is causing all my problems then I might have the iniative to give it a try.
Thank you.
