Eczema Treatment Care

I went to the theme park Busch Gardens on Saturday with my school. We were coming back home after and the top of my hand was itchy. The next day, my other arm was itchy, and I slowly over the next few days developed seemingly random splotches of itchy weirdness.

I went to the doctor Tuesday. He looked at me for thirty seconds, saw that it was on my hand and my arm and I went to an amusement park, called it contact dermatitis and left.

I don’t think it’s contact dermatitis because it’s continued to spread and it’s in random splotches, not just where clothing touches (like if I was reacting to laundry detergent) etc.

I’ll describe it the best I can.

It’s on the top of my right hand in a somewhat distinct line, there’s a splotch or two on the top of my right arm, it’s ALL over the underside of my left arm in three or four main spots about the size of a quarter with more dot-like splotches by the elbow. Left inner thigh in a distinct line resembling the one on my hand a little. One small spot on my inner thigh (which was really itchy so I scratched it like crazy a second ago and now there’s a bunch of tiny red speckes around it). In a triangular shape on my breast, a little in the middle of my chest, in my belly button, and finally a little bit on my neck.

Not a speck on the back of me at all or my face or my legs (besides the thighs)

I live in South Florida and it has been raining lately. I have a dog.

I have perscription ointment for contact dermatitis, I’ve been taking short cool showers and rubbing oatmeal and baking soda on my “rash”.

What else can I do? Do you think it is contact dermatitis? What do you suggest it is if it isn’t on the back of me at all or my face? What has worked for you getting rid of rashes?

I’m 16, it’s hot out and I’m already sick of wearing pants and jackets to cover this up. Please help.

I was wondering if I can get Contact Dermatitis from my pet rat? I have have this weird rash, and googled reactions and found pictures of something called Contact Dermatitis. And I was wondering if I can get that from a reaction to my rat. I also just got my rat not that long ago.

My skin has been breaking out from contact with my jewelery. I’m not sure if I should go to the Dr, or just continue with cortizone cream. Is there anything different the Dr can do?? I don’t want to waste my money!

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?

I have an erythematously filled circle on my shoulder. It is not a ring. It is a filled circle. It has pustules in the the circle, which I think are my pores filled with pus. It is slightly raised. The skin around the circle is slightly red and itches. The site itself itches really badly. I tried hydrogen peroxide once, neosporin once, hydrocortisone twice, airing it out, bandaging it, etc. It started 6 days ago. I will call a doctor on Monday. It was the size of a dime 6 days ago and now is the size of a quarter. It kind of burns – or maybe that is the extreme itch factor. It’s painful, too, but tolerable. The pores were not pustular at first, but more are filling up with pus as each day goes by.
There is no bite mark in the center. There is no lighter color in the center and ring on the outside. It’s all dark pink/red. No other sx noted. No spider/tick seen 6 days ago, although they are everywhere where I live. No contact with fragrances, diff. detergents, etc. No hx of excema.
I can email a picture of it to you if you email me at taddmb@yahoo.com. Thanks for your help.
