Eczema Treatment Care

My my 7 year old female Bichon’s (Claudette’s) ears had been bothering her a little so we brought her to the vet and she had ear infections in both ears. We were given medication for her ears to help them and she’s been given the drops since last Wednesday and we’ll stop on Friday. Well, ever since about last Friday she’s not acting herself. She has stopped begging for food which she used to do. It seems like she’s having a hard time hearing. Today I went in the driveway, and usually she’s at the door and she wasn’t. She was laying on my parents bed on the other side of the house, looking at me like “when did you get here?!” I’m worried that she’s losing her hearing. Could the ear drops be doing this? I figured with her begging for food she’d be able to smell what we’re eating, too. We’ve been giving her 250 mg of Cephalexin two times a day, a generous amount of Tri-Otic ear drops into each ear twice a day, and we’ve been washing her every day with Etiderm. (She also has dermatitis at the moment.) She is, like I said, 7 years old and weighs roughly 25 pounds. She IS going to the vet July 11th for a checkup, but if she gets worse the vet WILL be contacted. We love her and we don’t mess around if she’s not healthy.

Our daughter has bad eczema, and her primary doctor thinks it’s contact dermatitis. It’s on her elbows and arms, sides of her legs and knees, and her cheeks. However, I fed her squash for the first time today, and now she’s got a rash on her butt and a little on her chest and stomach (in addition to what she already has). I can’t think of anything she could have come into contact with today that would cause a rash on her butt or stomach. We haven’t changed diapers, wipes, diaper cream, or laundry detergent for her (Dreft only). Is this more than likely a reaction to squash? Any personal anecdotes or general knowledge about allergies and eczema are greatly appreciated. She’s only 5 months old, so seeing an allergist won’t do much good yet (so I’ve been told). Thanks!

Has anyone ever heard of this. The allergy dr. thought I was lying. It has been a a while since it has happened but I still carry an epipen. I have been to the ER a few times with my throat swollen wheels all over my body and my face so swollen I looked like a cabbage patch kid. All just from playing basketball, tennis, or hiking. I also have contact dermatitis when I am not active at all. I really need to know if I am alone here? HELP

I have always had very sensative skin, my contact dermatitis comes and goes and usually goes away after i apply perscription hydrocortizone cream.However, lately, its gotten worse and hasnt gone away. it also bleeds a lot and when i scratch my skin bruises. my belly also hurts under my left ribs and i have missed a few periods but i am a virgin and could not be pregnant. Any ideas?

I have been to the Doctor and had patch tests done but they all seem to be useless and the doctors aren’t listening to me when i explain whats happening. i don’t know what is causing it, but i need something in the mean time to help with the pustules, sores, crusting and weeping. its really painful. please someone help!
