What are some of the best things people have found to combat chronic eczema?

Alan — Sat, 10 Apr 2010 10:46:40 +0000

I have chronic eczema, and I have found nothing that really helps it, at least not long term. It is an extremely dry, extremely itchy red rash, and no matter what my doctor’s try, nothing seems to last. I use Vaseline Petroleum Jelly as a moisturizer. I use prescription strength Lidex cream. I use Prednisone when it gets too bad, and I haven’t found anything to use which is helpful for the itch. Any suggestions would be welcome.

If a rash on the skin is caused from something internal such as a virus, could things external affect it?

My daughter has a really bad rash covering her body. As of now, we do not know the source of it. Initially, the doctors told me that it was contact dermatitis. ( A rash caused by something she touched…or came in contact with) Since taking her back a couple more times, they now say it may be from a virus, or who knows what. When given instructions in the beginning, I was told not to use soap on her skin but twice a week, and to keep Eucerin or Vaseline on her to keep her skin hydrated. But this is when they thought it was contact dermatitis. Her rash is bad as ever. It has been almost 2 weeks. If it isn’t…and I’m almost certain it isn’t, contact dermatitis…could the soap still aggravate the rash? I am thinking that if the rash is being caused by an internal issue, then soap should not make it worse. Am I wrong? BTW, I am only using unscented, sensitive skin soap on her…maybe only once a week now. I will do anything to make her better.

On my upper arm there are these dots, they look like pimples except they have no head, or pus. There is nothing to burst. At first I thought it was Contact Dermatitis but It never went away. It looks like acne on my arms except it is the color of my skin and there is nothing in it to squeeze. Tell me more about what this is?
First of all, i am a teen, second, I dont shave my arms

Could A Food Allergy Cause These Things?

Alan — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 12:46:36 +0000

Im not sure if you can have an allergy to food and the only side effect is sneezing? Eating certain foods make me sneeze lots (no not pepper or spices, I think its bread but im not sure) but its wierd because I dont get itchy or swollen or anything just some foods make me sneeze. But also I have contact dermatitis (if i said it right) since I was young. It means that if I am slapped or hit, or get any form of strong abbrasion/force against any skin on my body, the skin gets very red quickly and the main area of impact gets raised and white like a welt. A doctor told me this could either be very sensitive skin or a food allergy. Like, to give an example. If my back feels itchy, and I scratch it for say 2 seconds. Then it gets even more itchy and i scratch a couple more times, and then I can usually feel that my back feels all bumpy and I look in a mirror, and there are raised nailmarks everywhere I have scratched making a big jagged pattern on my back, and i am not scratching excessively hard or anything. When I get an itch, it does not go away unless I just plain ignore it for a very long time, it will keep getting itchier and itcher and spread if i itch it, im always like this. I dont know much about food allergies or skin conditions so if you know about either please leave a reply. Thanks
