Eczema Treatment Care

I have had a rash since i went into lake michigan over a week ago. It started on my knees- i went to see a doc- he said take antibiotics and some powder to clear it up. At this time it spread to my other joints and was weeping yellow pus itchy burning and cant put my legs down to even walk from feeling like the blood was going to explode out of my swollen knees.There are parts that have gone down to the tissues – i look like its eating me away and is bloody too. Went to E.R. doc – couldnt handle it anymore. He put me on steroids- and the E.r. doc calls me the next day to see if any improvement- i said no. He suggests a dermatologist. I cant get into one for 3-4 months…. this thing is eating me alive and I dont know how much more i can take- what should I do? and what can cause something to act like contact dermatitis but yet nothing gets rid of it. Its not an allergen but looks like it would be??????

6 days ago my back began to get itchy when I entered humidity or an area that is warmer. 3 days ago i began to see this irritation on my fingers, yesterday it seemed like it had calmed down, this morning I woke up and it was more inflamed then ever, it has also spread up my arm, and is on my toes. not as severe as my hand but i fear it could get that bad. I showed my doctor although she said that it might be contact dermatitis though was not too sure. any help would be greatly appreciated.

My 7 mo. old son is getting these wierd red rashy bumps. He got one on his wrist about 3 weeks ago- started out as a whitish (lighter than his skin) tiny “bite” looking thing, with red area around the perimeter, and within minutes turned “harder”, more into a welt, and a red blistery thing appeared in the center. Within days, there was a cluster of red blistery things in the center, and it just looked horrible and irritated. There also appeared at the same time on the same hand, a smaller one which never really “blew up” like the other, just turned into a small red blister, and now has nearly faded. He ran no fever, and did not seem to notice it, did not try to scratch that I could see… We took him to his doc, they had 5 docs/nurses in the room and no one could tell what it was. They took a culture to see if it were viral, it came back negative. This thing got so ugly that 2 days late I took him to the ER. That doc mentioned flea bites or scabies- (yikes) but said there were things about it that did not fit with this diagnosis, like mom and dad did not have signs of it, and my cat and pomeranian are both on frontline plus, so have no fleas, and were rechecked to be certain- no signs of fleas. It is also much much large than a flea bite, and “hard” to the touch, and when you push around on it, the center will turn white as you are pushing, when you let go it is dark red again. And there was no way mom or dad had come into contact with scabies!! We even bombed the house with bug bombs just to be certain that nothing has bit him like a spider or something. We questioned food allergy, since he recently started solids… but the docs say no, that there would likely be a full body rash, or at least partial body rash, not just 1 or 2 welts. They gave him hydrocortisone which is helping it fade… Then this morning I saw the same thing begin ( I swear, right before my eyes, as I was bottle feeding him!!) on his right knee!!!! Same white dot with red around, and now it is becoming a hard welt again. I am so scared!!! Just don’t understand what it could be, and the docs do not seem to know either! The diagnosis on the paper at the ER was “contact dermatitis”… Some speculation was baby excema…anyone experience anything like this and might know what it could be? Or if any one has a baby with excema, how does this rash usually look when it begins to appear? I googled it, but can find no info. on what the initial sight of it is, if it is similar to my son’s mystery skin problem. Of course on Monday we will be taking him back to the doc, but if anyone has any info that may help me before then get an idea of what this could be, I would really appreciate it! (Sorry for the super long question!!) =)
Here is a pic, of the one today- my camera is not the best so it is hard to tell, but I will post it anyway.http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3306/3204…

I don’t have picture, but it’s located on the two middle fingers of my right hand, sometimes spreading to the index finger and pinky finger as well. I think I might have contact dermatitis, or eczema. Growing up as a child, I’ve always had itching problems over my entire body. On my thighs, my arms (especially), my buttocks, by calves, everywhere! But that’s dulled down a bit since I’ve become a teen. I work at Panera bread and we use this sanitizer and we also use powdered and unpowdered latex gloves. We had this sanitizer bottle that would leak when you sprayed it. I was like, “Okay, whatever, this bottle is retarded, but it’s the only one we have…?” So I used it and the sanitizer would drip over the fingers that I sprayed with on my right hand. Sometime later, a few weeks, maybe, I started developing this rash on my fingers. It would itch really badly… but it dulled down a bit for the next few months. Well, a few months ago I started itching in the same place. We had long since gotten a new bottle, but I still had contact with what I thought caused the rash. Well, I don’t use the sanitizer that much anymore (because of my position) and now use the gloves excessively. It seems the more I use any type of glove, the worse it itches (because of the warm, sweaty state the gloves put my hands in.) When I get out of the shower it itches, when I’m just sitting there it itches. Now it’s coming up in little patches on my fingers and also a little on my hand. Around where it itches there are these… bubbles… under the skin and, if I scratch these bubbles open, they have a clear substance that drains from it. I’m constantly aware of my fingers, be it because they are hurting, itching, or swelling. When I wake up in the morning I have finger joint stiffness and what feels like numbness… what should I do?

I’ve been using this Aveeno moisturizer with SPF 15 for almost 2 years now and I guess it’s perfect for my skin since I’ve never had any allergic reaction to it. But, I want to use a higher spf coz I want to protect my skin since I have some discoloration but my problem is, I am allergic to Spf. I know it doesn’t make sense right now but my dermatologist told me that the only sunscreen I can use is Presun from Rite Aid. I’ve had Contact Dermatitis before where I broke out due to the Lanolin Oil in lip cosmetics (one of the ingredients) and SPF. But for some reason, I’m not allergic to Aveeno with SPF 15 and I’m very afraid to use something with higher Spf coz I don’t want to have contact dermatitis again. I am using Bio-Oil to moisturize my skin and to help even out my skin tone but I need sunscreen, what should I get? You think I should stick with Aveeno but get the SPF 30 for more protection? or can I just go ahead and buy the Presun sunscreen with Spf 30 since I’m already using Bio-Oil for my moisturizer? Thanks in advance
