Question by Akling: Is there anything you can do to treat eczema and skin allergies besides medications?
Almost 2 years ago now I broke out in an itchy bumpy rash. It started around the backs of my knees, slowly made its way up my thighs, around the front of my knees, to my lower back, my shoulder blades, the inside of my upper arms, the back of my lower arms under my elbow, and then to my knuckles and sometimes inbetween my fingers. I immediately went to the doctor because it progressed quickly and he suggested that it was a pesticide, or bed bugs, basically that lived under your skin and caused an itchy red rash. I was given pesticide which made my affected areas burn severly. Stopped that, and went to a local dermatologist who suggested the same thing. Leaving that possibility behind again, I went to another dermatologist. She said I had a bad allergic reaction to nickle(from my belt holes and buckle), along with eczema, and a mild case of hay fever. She gave me a cream that always makes the itching stop temporarily, but has never gotten rid of the rash totally. Suggestions?

I have eczema BAD and, aside from the creams, there are only 2 other treatments; Prednizone-a steroid-which can be injected or taken orally. Neither will ever get rid of eczema, since it’s a stress problem, but relieves it temporarily. So far I’ve stuck with the creams. Sorry!!!

What do you think? Answer below!

Hi! I am on the following medications:
Allegra-D 24-hour qd (for allergies)
Biaxin 500 mg bid (sinusitis)
Flovent 440 mcg bid (asthma)
Benadryl 50 mg q4h prn (I get a lot of rashes, so this is used and OK’d by my dermatologist to be taken with the Allegra-D, even though it’s 2 antihistamines — right now it’s for eczema and some contact dermatitis/hives)
… and now what I’m thinking of taking is a DuoNeb nebulizer treatment (Albuterol inhailer isn’t cutting it, and last time it was this bad, neither did the Xopenex, so I had to be put on oral steroids and DuoNeb [atrovent and albuterol]).
Can these things be taken together? Thanks so much!
