Eczema Treatment Care

I have a rash on my left breast and arreola, it’s reddish pink, blotchy and itches. I’ve looked up several rashes (including inflammatory breast cancer) and it looks like it’s contact dermatitis. I can’t figure out how I could get contact derm. because I haven’t used any new lotions, soaps, perfumes or laundry detergent. It hasn’t gotten worse, or better so I can’t figure out how to get rid of it. I have an appt with my doctor next Wednesday but I’m hoping I can get it to go away before then. Any suggestions?

My daughter (8) ocasionally suffers from a rash on her face and neck area after exposure to sun and heat. This usuallly only occurs at the beginning of summer and the Dr. calls it contact dermatitis and prescribes Pediapred (liquid prednisone). Well it’s back and I put sumblock on her which didn’t prevent it. I really don’t want to keep putting her on a steroid. Any personal experience with this? I know I know… call a Dr. already have just looking for public feedback or first hand experience.

i have developed eczema/atopic dermititus within the last 6 months. this entire time i have been trying to figure out what has caused this after 28 years of my skin being normal. i have read to avoid sweating when you have eczema. do you think that excessive sweating could have actually caused eczema? i have been working out for a few years (mostly walking fast-pace on the treadmill) but in the last 9 months i have stepped up my work out and have been perspiring alot…i’m just so stumped as to what caused it and its so frustrating…

Is it possible to get a outbreak of herpes after taking valtrex two days earlier for a week. Now I have a sore down there. Could it be something else and I’m just scared for nothing. I was taking the Valtrex for what a doctor thought was shingles and a cold sore at the same time. But a dermatologist sad NO- he believed it was contact dermatitis. Please help

Okay, so most of you people have probably heard of the skin condition eczema or also called Atopic Dermatitis. Well, I have eczema, and in fact I have had it since the day I was born. I have a really bad case of it and until today I still have it, its gotten a lot better but its still bad. I am 15 now if that helps.There are times where it is worse than others. And right now happens to be one of those times.I go to National Jewish Research Hospital for my eczema and they really help, I have been going there since I was a little girl. I have a special ointment that I have to put on my hands and feet, and I also take a medicine at night that helps me sleep and not itch all night until I itch my skin raw. Well, unfortunately, last night I did what I was supposed to do, by putting on my ointment and taking my medicine. But it didn’t help me at all last night. I woke up with sore’s and cracks all over my hands and feet, and it was worse than the day before. I am just worried that my ointment and medicine won’t help again. I was up all night last night and I basically only got three hours of sleep. I don’t want a repeat of last night, tonight. I don’t have my next appointment at NJRH until the 13th of April. And I just dont know what else I can do in the meantime. Its really bothering me because it hurts sooooo bad to walk. It even hurts when I sit. So I just was wondering if there was any suggestions of things that I can do to help me sleep at night until I go back to the doctor. Also, please don’t recomend doing things like wet socks, we have tried that before, and yes it does sometimes work, but most of the time I itch the socks of and then itch myself raw still. I just can’t stand this pain. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
