I’m atopic, so I’m particularly prone to colds, rhinitis, eczema, asthma etc. I usually get a cold every six weeks or so and they tend to last about 10 days, often longer that that. But sometimes I find that just as I appear to be recovering from one cold, I come down with another one; so whilst I am in the snotty-nosed part (sorry to be so graphic!!), I’ll get a sore throat, blocked nose, headache, shivers etc, which I usually associate with the start of a new cold.

Basically my question is to anyone who is medically trained: is it biologically possible to get two colds at the same time? And if it isn’t, what is it that’s happening to me? (Is it the same cold re-emerging or just having a final crack at me?) And if either (or neither) of those guesses is correct, is what is happening to me normal or very odd indeed?!

Thanks in advance!

PS No need to tell me to take more Vit C etc – it’s irrelevant to my situation and won’t make any difference. Thanks!

Last year I had a staph infection on my left leg from a cut w/ eczema all around it ( sorry to gross you all out) .It has healed but about maybe March I saw a little blister about the size of an ant bite and all what came off was skin and now it hurts , red, kind of big , and the medicine I am using Cortizone Advanced doesn’t to be working this time. Does anybody know what I could put on it or what to do?

My mum passed away 5 years ago, but the problem is, I’ve no idea what sort of eczema she had. Because at the moment, i’m having some slightly itchiness on my face and legs. It’s not red or sore, but it’s annoying, i moisturize myself everyday after a shower throughly to stop my skin from drying out. Dad doesn’t have eczema, so, My question is;
Are both atopic eczema and contact dermatitis genetic?
Is there ANY other way to avoid having eczema?
I think only my mum has it in my family, my brothers and sisters haven’t got it. Is there still a chance i’ll have it?
