I’ve had this for awhile but I’ve been ignoring it because I tend to be a bit of a hypochondriac when it comes to my skin. All it is is a bunch of tiny red (dark red, like blood) dots loosely scattered over my arms and chest. They’re very, very small and wouldn’t show up on a picture. They look like dark red specks that you could just brush off, only they don’t brush off. They don’t itch or hurt.
But I began to worry when I started seeing some raised bumps kind of like pimples on the insides of my elbows, and also what appeared to be small rashes on the insides of my wrists. These rashes don’t itch; in fact, they look just like a cluster of the tiny red dots I mentioned, only the red dots are now the centers of several raised bumps. The rash is on the same spot on both of my wrists and does not itch or hurt.
This may not be related, but I’ve also noticed at least one, possibly two new moles on my forearm. They look normal, so I’m not worried about them. Just thought I’d bring them up.
WebMD was not helpful, and I have not been able to find anything to suggest that this is a type of contact dermatitis. However, I wonder if they are possibly bites, and if I possibly have parasites in my bed. *shudder*

Two days ago I went to the doctor because I had some discomfort in my vagina and I thought I felt a bump on my labia. I thought it might be a razor bump but fearing it could be Herpes I figured I’d get it looked at anyway. She checked me out and said everything looked okay just irritated and that I had something that looked like blisters in my vaginal wall but that she had poked and prodded at them and I hadn’t reacted so it couldn’t possibly be Herpes because I would have been screaming with pain. She asked if I had done anything new and I told her I had tried the KY Intrigue heat. She went on a rant on how those things should be outlawed and said I had Contact Dermatitis. She didn’t give me any medication only told me to put a cold cloth to sooth the area and if it got too bad to use diaper rash cream, which I did use and it did make me feel better. I asked her if I should get a blood test to be positve it’s not herpes but she said it wasn’t necessary that the bumps did not act in a hepatic manner. I thought everything was fine but last night I got a fever out of nowhere and when I woke up this morning I had several more bumps on my labia. They don’t hurt and they are not liquid filled, they are just hard little bumps and my pubic area feels tender. This is only my second time shaving this area so I don’t know how bad razor bumps can get but this feels wrong to me.

Ive had a rash since 8th grad and im in 11th grad now. The rash goes and comes its mostly on my arms, legs, under arms, neck, and back. Ive ask my mom to take me to the doctor and she did like 1 years ago but the rash comes and goes the Doc said it could be contact dermatitis or something like that. They gave me a cream and it helped a little but the rash went away a little and comes back ive told my mom to ask me to the Doc be she says the appointment is next and weeks and weeks pass and no appointment. Also i have to get a Physical for 11th grad and she says the appointment is next week and again next week and nothing. I dont live with my dad so i can tell him to take me my aunts and uncles only speak spanish so they cant help me.
What can i do is there someone i can contact so i can get those 2 appointment or something the rash is unbearable and i dont want people to see it, and the school will eventually kick the people out who dont get there physicals i need help.
mom dad lives many states away so noway he can help, yeah my moms irresponsible

I have really bad eczema and I don’t have insurance or anything for that matter…lotion usually keeps it under control but in the winter it gets worse. I would like to find a cheap, very very moisturizing lotion for my skin. Or even something I can take or eat to help the matter.

Posted by: Alan in Atopic Eczema, tags: Around, Cream, Doctor, Eczema, Prescribed, Shower, Take, That, When, With
Im 14 years old and i’ve been suffering from eczema around my mouth for around two months. It’s an allergy to dove cream that started it. My doctor prescribed me with hydrocortisone cream and e45 cream. When i take a shower, my eczema turns really flakey and red. When i apply any of these creams that the doctor prescribed me with, it turns red, but the next day its fine again. My biggest worry is the shower tho, I’m afraid to wash my face in the morning or take a shower. I really want this eczema to go, people in school say i have herpes and i suck penis. Please help me, do i have atopic eczema? No family member of mine has ever suffered from eczema.
Thanks!
