Question by kristy_la86: I have a very strange rash/red bumps on my body, could it be flea bites, heat rash, eczema?
I have red bumps in big patches all over my body. They itch really bad, and you can’t really see most of them until I itch them, I have them all up my arms on my elbows (those ones look different, dryish) some on my lower stomach, and legs. I lotion ALOT. I thought it could be flea bites maybe? We just put new carpet in our place, cleaned all our sheets -bedding washed both cats and got flea collars and I still have it. It got alittle better and then just came back again. Does anyone know what it could be? Also, maybe somethin from the lake maybe because Ive been going there lately. I appreciate any help!
pretty sure its swimmers itch ive been researchin online and it makes the most sense specially how its come and go when ive been to this one lake. i dont have inscurance so i dont really have the money to be visitin a bunch of doctors unless it doesnt go away, thanx for all ur help1

My skin is very prone to eczema and I am looking for a body wash that wont irritate my skin or dry it out.?

Alan — Wed, 18 Aug 2010 04:41:45 +0000

The soap I am using now has dried out my skin. The dry skin then turns to eczema. So if anyone also has eczema and knows of any good body washes that would help I would really appreciate it. I am female so if it has a nice fragrance that would be nice too. Thanks!

I Have Very Wierd Hives, Can You Give Me Advice?

Alan — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 06:54:43 +0000

I’d had hives for about a month and didn’t know what from, so I made an appointment with my allergist, and he checked my blood. After a few weeks, he told me that I don’t have any allergies, but I have something called Contact Dermatitis. He said that it very rearly last for longer than a year. I’ve so far had them for half-a-year, and they are driving me insane! HELP! What should I do to help it or make it go away? They aren’t out all of the time, only when I scratch or irratate my skin. THEY ITCH!

I’ve Had A Very Disturbing Skin Rash Off And On For About 5 Years, Any Suggestions?

Alan — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 06:46:43 +0000

Since i was in third grade(5yrs ago) i started getting this rash. It started with just a little spot from my belt buckle on my stomach and then it eventually was on my forearms. About 3yrs. ago, i had a skin allergy test and i found out that I’m allergic to cobalt and nickel. More recently, that rash seems to come and go more often but now i get it on my back, abdomen, arms, legs, neck and chin. The thing is, all my dermatologists keep telling me that im coming in contact with nickel or cobalt. Let me tell you, I’ve done a lot of research and i even wore sweatshirts and long pants when it was 80 degrees just to see if it was contact dermatitis, and i don’t think it is. My nickel rash from my belt looks entirely different than my other rashes. There is no real pattern that i get the rash. it usually starts small and just gets worse until i finally have to go back to the doctor’s, and they give me new creams that take it away. I’m fully aware that nickel and cobalt are in shampoos,clothing,silverware,cookware,mo… foods, and paints. I switched my shampoo to all natural hoping for the answer. I thought it was but then about a week ago it came back again. I’m miserable! My rash itches like crazy, hurts and is hot to the touch. Its scaly and an angry red. The bumps are small and form in one giant cluster. If anyone has some sort of magic cure for rashes would they please share? I’ve tried benadryll, and all kinds of other allergy medications. My dermatologist suggested a cortisone shot but I’d have to wait 2 weeks for an appointment and i would still like to search around for the cause instead of just treating the symptoms. Any help is greatly appreciated = ] by the way, the creams i am give are to be only used for a week at a time because they are very strong steroid creams so after i use it for more then a week, the rash is way more painful and if i use it only for a week, its not long enough for a significant improvement. By the time i go in to the doc’s office and he gives me more cream, the rash is just about over with and theres no point in using creams, it just makes it go faster.
