Could My Dermatologist Miss Scabies? How Fast Does It Spread Over Your Whole Body?

Alan — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 06:43:14 +0000

I woke up Friday morning with a few blisters on each wrist. Throughout Friday the rash spread to my leg then abdomen. By Saturday it had gotten worse so my family made me go to the ER. The ER doctors said it was maybe contact dermatitis or a virus. They gave me a shot, prednisone and stuff to help the itching. It hadn’t gotten better by Monday but in fact had spread to my toes so I went to my doctor’s office. My doctor couldn’t see me so a nurse saw me, freaked out and sent me to a dermatologist. The dermatologist said she thought it was a drug allergy. I take a few medications for my headaches and back problems. She kept saying, “it’s so diffuse that it has to be a drug allergy”. It hasn’t gotten better and I was googling, accidentally came across scabies and it looks like my rash. Now I am freaking out!!!!! I don’t want to give this to my baby. Could my doctor miss scabies? I have dogs. I have read that dogs can pass it to humans and have also read that they cannot. We have had all of these squirrels dying in our neighborhood, is there a link? I can’t possibly think of where else I could have gotten scabies. I also really want to know; does scabies spread that fast over your body?

Does Your Toddler Dribble A Lot?

Alan — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 18:44:46 +0000

My 2yr old daughter dribbles so much her lower face is covered in painful looking sores which the doctor said is contact dermatitis, the cream did seem to work but its got worse again. She isn’t teething because I keep checking. When she eats she gets her food all over her chin, she talks non stop & this seems to create a mountain of spit all over her mouth and chin. It was easy to control her dribble as a baby because she wouldn’t fight me keeping it dry, but now she won’t let me near her face and it seems pointless anyway as the slobber comes right back within seconds of me mopping it up.
Is it normal for a child this age to dribble huge quantities when not teething?

Where Does Eczema Occur When Caused By Food Allergies?

Alan — Fri, 01 Jan 2010 07:01:15 +0000

Our daughter has bad eczema, and her primary doctor thinks it’s contact dermatitis. It’s on her elbows and arms, sides of her legs and knees, and her cheeks. However, I fed her squash for the first time today, and now she’s got a rash on her butt and a little on her chest and stomach (in addition to what she already has). I can’t think of anything she could have come into contact with today that would cause a rash on her butt or stomach. We haven’t changed diapers, wipes, diaper cream, or laundry detergent for her (Dreft only). Is this more than likely a reaction to squash? Any personal anecdotes or general knowledge about allergies and eczema are greatly appreciated. She’s only 5 months old, so seeing an allergist won’t do much good yet (so I’ve been told). Thanks!

Does Anyone Have Experience With Being Allergic To Dish Soap?

Alan — Sun, 13 Dec 2009 18:51:07 +0000

When I wash dishes by hand, my palms get really itchy and burn. It takes quite a while for this to go away and feels really horrible. I take Zyrtec and a nasal spray for other allergies and also have contact dermatitis. (I had eczema for many years but I rarely have problems with it now.) Is there a medicine for this? Should I wear gloves? Do you know a good allergen-free brand of dish soap to try?

Help….. Does Anyone Know Of A Good Cream To Get Rid Of Contact Dermatitis ??

Alan — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 19:25:47 +0000

What you can use on this really depends on how badly you are affected. Can you go see your local chemist? he/she can have a look and advise you far better. A mild topical steriod may be what you need, so getting expert advice is far better for you, good luck!

How Does Piercing A Body Part Contribute To Allergic Contact Dermatitis?

Alan — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 07:16:40 +0000

sometimes when you’re allergic to the material the piercing is made out of, you’ll get a reaction. which is why surgical steel and gold are so popular — people are rarely allergic.
