Itchy rash around eyes, mouth, armpits, and thighs?

Alan — Sun, 11 Apr 2010 10:45:05 +0000

I have had a very red, itchy rash in various parts of my body for a month and a half, supposedly caused by an allergic reaction. The rash is around my eyes (upper and lower eyelids, extending to the brow ridge), around my mouth, under my left armpit, on my inner thighs, and on my left nipple. The rash is very red and has clearly defined borders. Sometimes the rash on my eyes is so swollen, I am unable to see and cannot drive to work. The rash around my mouth makes it so that when I open my mouth wide enough (to eat a sandwich or burger), the corners split open and bleed. I have been to 4 different allergists, and 2 different dermatologists, and nothing has been figured out other than that it is contact dermatitis. I have been on three rounds of prednisone, which eliminate the rash completely (but have very nasty side effects), have tried cortisone cream (did not work), and various other prescription-strength anti-itch cream (did not work). I have been on hydroxyzine, a prescription-strength antihistamine (did not work). I have eliminated all possible allergens that come into the contact with my body. I have stopped using deoderent, I switched to baby shampoo, I stopped using shaving cream, I switched to cetaphil (unsecented, hypoallergenic) body wash, and I have stopped using sunscreen. I stopped using fabric softener, I use ivory flakes laundry detergent, and have switched my bedding. I have even stayed at a different house for a week to see if the allergen was where I was living and the rash still got worse. I was blood-tested for various auto-immune diseases like lupus and the results came out negative. It seems like my doctors have all given up and want to put me on prednisone for the rest of my life to mask the symptoms but not try to figure out the problem.

How can you control eczema around your eyes?

Alan — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 23:22:48 +0000

Every winter I get eczema around my eyes and today it is especially red and irritated. I know that is a sensitive area and normal creams and topical steroids that you would ordinarily use are not good to use near the eyes. Are there any over-the-counter creams or gels I could find to help with this? It is bothersome and unattractive. Thanks!

I Wake Up With Swollen Eyes (both Upper And Lower Lids) And Have Puss Coming Out In Large Amounts (both Eyes)?

Alan — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 12:43:40 +0000

I normally wear contact lenses, have atopic dermatitis, am allergic to smoke, and only wear special mascara for sensitive skin. First time I had this, I was told that my eyes started rejecting contact lenses so I’ve changed the type. A&E gave me erithromicin to treat possible infection, which I developed allergy for and refused to treat me further since the swell was gone. All four lids get swollen like a baloon and I can’t move them and hardly see anything as well. White inner part also gets swollen on both eyes so I can’t really move the eyes either. And it hurts like hell. Before that the puss is coming out in massive amounts both from upper and lower lids. It normally happens after the night out. I thought it was contact lenses; however, last night I was wearing glasses, so now I start thinking that it’s the reaction to smoke. I had this 2 or 3 times with the old lens type and everything was good since I got new ones (about 2 months ago).

What Is The Best Cure For The Red Rash Under Eyes Due To Contact Dermatitis?

Alan — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 01:02:05 +0000

Are you wearing latex gloves and rubbing your eyes? If so, try an alternative type of glove. An antihistimine should help control your reaction and help relieve discomfort. Creams may relieve skin reactions brought on by a latex allergy, just don’t get it in your eyes.
Although medications are available to reduce the symptoms of latex allergy, there is no cure for a latex allergy. Treatment is prevention. The only way to prevent an allergic reaction is to avoid products containing latex.

Have Contact Dermatitis On Eyebrows And Near Lids And To The Side Of Eyes?

Alan — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 00:54:33 +0000

I have been told by My Dr that something I have been in contact with has produced this horrible rash. I have wracked my brains as to what I have been in contact with! Dr has given me Canesten Hydrocortisone which just made it irritate, then Daktacort ointment which didn’t work, still irritates like hell. I am using Oilatum Emollient cream and wash He did say it could be coming from within meaning a virus in my body. Has anyone ever experienced anything like this the itching is driving me mad and I look like i’ve been in a fight, its also at the sides of my nose at the very top. Any ideas please.
