Question by K.B.: Husband has some sort of eczema/rash – will flu shot aggravate this?
My husband has recently experienced a thumb print size rash on his stomach, sides etc… which seems to flare up when it is very hot. He hasn’t seen doctor yet because it comes & goes. He is scheduled to get a flu shot today at work.

Would the flu shot make this worse? I don’t think so, but he worries about everything!

Question by : is this is a birth mark or eczema or something else? can it go away?
i have a HUGE mark on my stomach. it literally takes up half of my stomach. but im not sure if its really a birthmark. my mom thinks it may be eczema, but what does eczema look like? my mark is dark brown, patchy, and rough feeling with little bumps. my little sister has eczema, but i’ve never had any problems with dry skin. i put lotion on it every day. besides, i’ve had it ever since i can remember. my parents don’t know if i’ve had it since birth. if you think its eczema what can i do to make it go away? or if it isn’t eczema than what is it?

pictures of eczema or other conditions may help me figure out mine, so that would help me a lot thanks!
i forgot, my sister also has a very small patch like mine on her forehead.

I would guess you have eczema, it’s a flora bacteria and once it takes hold, it’s there forever. It will always show on you, either as rough skin darker then the rest, or reddish and rough. You can put a number of things from the Walmart drug store on it to make it so it doesn’t show so much. My own daughter never wore skirts or shorts because she was always ashamed of her legs and what they looked like.
We both go to a dermatologist and get shots every week now to halt our allergies, the shots Xolair are on special request and have to be approved are $ 2400.00 a month but can be approved by the drug company and they will pay. See your doctor for more facts.

It hurts, is itchy at times, and sometimes gets super red and swollen. It’s also on my right hand in the same place. And if it is, what can I do about it? I’ve tried creams and lotions. Nothing.

Thanks.

that doesn’t look like eczema at all. its looks like some kind of rash kinda like ring worm but i don’t think that’s what it is. You should probably see your doctor about it.

Question by Mary McCart: What is the name of this rash and how can it be treated?
My little sister developed some circular type rashes around her vaginal area and on her upper inner thigh region a couple weeks ago. She said it is itchy and its warm to the touch. The doctors aren’t sure what it is but they gave her steroid cream and are going to refer her to a dermatologist if it doesn’t go away. My mom and I believe it is a type of rash called Nummular Eczema but we are not 100% sure.If you could provide me with and answer to my question or a solution I’d be ever greatful.

If the steroid cream isn’t working then try an anti-fungal cream. Little girls get yeast too and it can spread.
