Question by Alyssa: How did my rash turn into eczema?
At first i had this tiny little rash on my right arm on the inside of where my elbow is, it started getting itchy so i scratched it. After that it started spreading 2 inches all the way down to my wrist. Then the next day it went to left arm and the next day it went be my knees. My rash was a yellow skin color and my real skin color is tan. We went to the doctors and she said it was eczema but didnt tell me how i got it. How did i get from a tiny rash to eczema?

Maybe you were born with eczema and didn’t know until something you ate or put on your skin gave you the rash. Why didn’t you ask your doctor this when you were there?

it starts around her mouth and spreads to her entire face. It swells to the point that her lips will crack. We apply ice packs and give benadryl but once it starts there is no stopping it. The swelling lasts around two days and the redness will last a week or more. after about three days, any affected skin will begin to peel like a healing sunburn. We have seen three doctors (including an allergist) they say “Contact Dermatitis” but have no idea what the irritant could be. They say to treat her with hydrocortisone cream and cold compresses. Also, to use vaseline on her lips. Maybe someone has had a similar experience or has heard of one and could give me some clues. My daughter is a nail biter, thus making it nearly impossible to pinpoint what exactly could be going into her mouth. I would appreciate any help i can get. I just can’t figure this out.

I know I have contact dermatitis. I have all the signs and symptoms of contact dermatitis. And from what I have researched and studied (I’m a nursing student), the treatments and medications I have used have resolved the problem (although it keeps coming back).
I went to visit the school clinic’s doctor today, and she diagnosed me with nummular eczema, because she saw some chicken skin-like patches on my arm. I don’t know if it’s right, but she’s been a trusted friend.
Here are the signs and symptoms I have:
>itching at night
>allergy to dust, uv rays, too much cold, contact with elastic, rubber and nickel.
>flaring (allergic flares – worsening of condition) during perspiration
>hives (both small and large ones. My body looks like a world map with many islands when I get allergic attacks.
>bronchospasms and airway constrictions (This happens when I have allergic attacks and hives don’t appear.)
>dry skin
>small nodules similar to chicken skin
>dark marks left behind after too much scratching
>scratch marks
I had really good skin condition before this. One can even call it flawless skin but now this? It’s really bothering me.
