My daughter has eczema and on her body and it looks like scaly patches. Now she has a bright red patch on her face and I’m not sure if it could be eczema or something else? Does it look different on the face?

How can I prevent eczema from spreading from one part of my body to another?

Alan — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 10:47:21 +0000

I have eczema opposite my elbows and now it’s also forming on my wrist. I REALLY HATE THE ONE ON MY WRIST!! Coz everyone notices it and they think it’s disgusting and there is no way to hide it. I don’t know what caused the eczema but anyway it wasn’t there till last year. I am worried it might spread to other parts of my body (like how the one on my wrist formed) and it’ll form in obvious places like my hands – when i shake hands with someone. Please help me and if you have anything that can help improve the eczema please tell me!! <3

Red Itchy bumps on my body- what are they?

Alan — Wed, 14 Apr 2010 22:57:40 +0000

Ok, on Nov 26th (thanksgiving), I started to notice an itchy rash on my stomach right below my breasts. I thought it was hives because I am under a LOT of stress (family legal issues, family health problems, wedding planning, fiance out of work, holidays, trying to quit smoking, etc). That night I noticed I had bumps that looked a lot like mosquito bites only some of them were smaller and itched worse than a mosquito bite. I still figured they were hives. But then the next day my sister said she had them too. Our mom said it was the “three day measles” so I looked that up. I did have some symptoms- same kind of bumps (although not very many, probably only 10-20) and a few nights before I’d had a low grade fever and swollen glands but I have been immunized, just like the rest of the USA so I should not have them. But I was worried because measles can cause birth defects and I work with a pregnant woman. Monday morning I went to my family doctor and he took one look and said chicken pox- it’s impossible to have measles. The problem I have with that diagnosis is this- I still have them two weeks later, I’m still getting new ones, they are mostly on my stomach and breasts with a few strays on my legs and arms. I had chicken pox when I was 9 and I remember them well. These bumps don’t have a blister or pimple like head. They are just itchy bumps. They only scab over if I scratch them till they bleed (usually in my sleep as I try to take benedryl and put on aveeno anti-itch cream with calamine and oatmeal. I thought they were going away about a week ago but a couple days ago, I got more new ones in the same place they started. I’ve been watching my diet, soaps, etc and can’t think of anything new that could be causing contact dermatitis. I do have two cats but have been always told that fleas don’t live in our climate here (it’s been around 20 below lately) and if it was fleas, wouldn’t my kids and fiance have them and wouldn’t my cats be itchy? They are rather large bumps in some places to be fleas and I read that flea bites are oozy. Can you get this kind of rash because of stress? What else can I do to make them stop?
Also wanted to add- these are not scaly, rough or blistery. They are very sparse- maybe 30 of them at the most all over. Already looked up scarlet fever- that was my supervisor’s diagnosis- but don’t fit symptoms. I sleep next to my fiance and he hasn’t got it. My sister also has not passed hers on to anyone. We don’t live together. I believe hers have gone away.
also, there have never been any on my face or neck or armpits (my sister had one in her armpit though) or groin area.

How Often Can You Use Over The Counter Calamine Lotion? My 2-month Itch Is All Over My Body?

Alan — Tue, 29 Dec 2009 06:59:03 +0000

based on pictures on the web, apparently my itching is either contact dermatitis or sun-based – although the latter is questionable because i am not often out in the sun and the areas of my itch include covered ones. as to contact dermatitis, i cannot identify what exactly is causing this itch.
i have rashes and scaly plaques already that frequently itch all day despite the lotion. it started in my feet, spread to my hands and now is practically in every part of my body.
i never had this condition before.

What If I Don’t Wash My Body With Soap?

Alan — Sun, 20 Dec 2009 12:52:20 +0000

I’m getting to be very, very cautious about my dry skin. Apparently I have a strain of Eczema called Atopic Dermatitis. I am wanting to go to extents of just washing my body thoroughly with plain water, and not using Dove body wash soap (although Dove is good at keeping moisture on the skin). To stem off any breakouts of AD.
I’ve noticed that even with not touching my body with soap, my skin still appears to slightly maintain smoothness and moisture.
So, again, I shower three times a day, but I’m beginning to not use soap on my body. Is this an unwise choice? Thank you for answering.

Alan — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 19:03:36 +0000

I accidentely touched my face with gloves and oil while at work and broke out with the worst case of contact dermatitis. It went away after two weeks but I would liike to prevent that. Along with not touching my face anymore I was wondering if there was a lotion or cream to protect the skin for a few hours? Any advice would be great.
