I usually have perfect skin but lately ive had this rash or something, tips?

so near the bottomish cheek/kind of chin area on mostly my left side my skin feels like a liittle bumpy but not like acne and u cant see anything but i can feel it. its kind of on my upper cheeks too a little now. it feels like i didnt rinse my face after my daily pore cleanser with microscrubbers. help?|||it's probably inflamed/irritated hair follicles or pores. The cleanser may be too harsh. You shouldn't use micro scrubbers with inflammation. Try witch hazel or a gentle soap like ivory with no scented chemicals. If that doesn't work, just a few days washing with water only. Keep your hair tied back away from face too,hair sprays,conditioners and so forth can contribute.|||thank you so much for answering you help a lot Report It
|||Sounds like you're reacting to something like a product, hair product, a sweater near your face, etc... Exfoliating and calming is what you need to do. Use a gentle scrub, nothing too harsh, and then use a soothing skin cream. Not a thick vasaline type product, but one that will calm the skin.|||GET FACE CREAM|||have you maybe eaten something new or unusual that maybe causing a reaction?

My whole face skin peels off so flaky&itchy&rash too, no cream can help. What should i do?

My skin problem happened a month ago after I ran out of medication as I moved from Thailand to England. I used to apply L.A.G. cream on my face as my Thai doctor told me to. She refused to tell me its chemical name, only said there's lots of ingredients. She told me I had dry skin problem and this medicine'll help reduce the flakes. I was surprised cuz my skin didn't look that bad at all but I believed her and used it.





I have no allergy record but my skin is peeling noticeably, worse than before I used the medicine. When i touch it, the flakes fall all over. I also feel the whole face is stretched all the time (the feeling on the face after u wash your face with strong soap). It's also itchy and red all the time. Now, I start having red spots in the same area, too.





I didn't use face wash product at all after this occured. I've tried various kinds of moisturisers e.g. water based, gel+cream based, green tea extract, or even those anti-aging with SPF 15. None helped.





Pls help!|||Try an antifungal cream - Lotrimin or clotrimazole, on a small patch. If it has a beneficial effect, you may have eczema, which can be caused by candida (yeast) fungus.





You may want to read some basic info about yeast syndromes at www.hufa.org - the yeast link, before you do anything.





If you go to a dermatologist, ask him/her to test for the yeast fungus.|||I have two suggestions for you to try:





1) Aveeno lotion - made with collodial oatmeal and it really helped me





2) 100% pure Aloe Vera Gel. You can buy this at the Drugstore or Trader Joe's if you have it.





You can order these both from www.drugstore.com or www.walgreens.com too|||I wouldn't use anything if the person giving it to me refused to tell me what was in it in the first place. Maybe you should see a Dermatologist.|||did you try proactive my sister has it and it works|||Wash your face with an organic soap that has olive oil, lavender or aloe vera. Then use organic aloe vera gel at night. Leave the gel on as a mask overnight. It flakes overnight but it works to clear up the skin. Sometimes I also leave a light layer on my face as moisturizer.|||Go see a dermatologist right away, and describe to the doctor what the thai Dr. gave to you. Sounds like it really messed your skin up. Well once you get it resolved use keri lotion works great. I have very sensitive,dry, red skin it burned 1-2 days and now my skin feels great.

Red rash on my dogs skin?

Hi,





I have a cross breed of German Sheperd and Labrador. He is 12 yrs old now. Couple of weeks back he started having hair loss in patches on his back for which we gave him some medicines and he is recovering from that now.


But now he has got red rashes all around his testicals. Its turned all red and it itches him a lot. Also it oozes some colorless fluid too at times.





Can someone help me know what problem he is facing and any cure for it.





Thanks,


Aldo|||my grandmas dog had the same problem.


it was actually allergies to something, maybe like flea medicine?? started at the shoulders and moved down. he got scabs from it. but he got medication, dont know what it was called. but it wasnt a huge deal.|||Aldo,





He maybe having an allegic reaction or he may have a skin infection. You should take him to the vet and have it checked.|||has anything changed in your home lately? such as wash the carpets and not rinsed them in an area where your dog often sits? this may be causing a skin irriation, just logically fix it, i.e. rinse the carpet. If you can't think of anything or the rash doesnt clear up within a weak of the fixing consult your vet|||Were these "medicines" by any chance home remedies or over-the-counter stuff? If so, you could have made it worse. Take him to the vet!

What is this rash on the cat's skin?

She has these grey/black lumps on her skin, paw/chin/bum. She's had one before over her eye and it was just gone after two three days but there are lots now. Are they bugs under the skin or bites? Do we need to do something or just let it be like the first time?|||Even a vet wouldn't attempt a diagnosis like this, we can't see your pets and can't do any tests. Take your pet to the vet and if you're lucky it'll be something straightforward like ticks.


Even if someone else's pet has a similar sounding problem it may not be identical. Don't mess about with advice from 10 different people and 10 different home remedies, just go to the vet.


Skin mites burrow into the skin and yes, you may be able to see them. They need veterinary treatment.|||go see a vet it could be bad for your cats health|||Take to vet ask a vet to be sure|||ah i just read your answers as i was hoping someone might tell you what they were and if any the treatment for it as my dog as the same problem they dont seem to bother him though and as you said there under the skin so they cant be mites as they are visauble from the outside of the skin yes he,s had these before so if you get any positive answers let me know please :-) cheers|||Your cat might have a skin problem do bring her to a vet to check it out or u might wanna find ur answer from http://www.vetinfo.com/cacne.html


if u cant get any answers at all.|||sounds like she has either an allergy, fleas can cause an allegy in some cats, take her to the vets anyway as the only action really is to get treatment sooner better than later. It the sores are open try a VERY weak solution of warm salty water gently bathed over affected areas.|||Could be a flea or tick bites but check at the vet for your cat health|||It sounds like your cat might have mites, or tics and a really bad case of them at that you should take her to the vet for treatment.|||I've always had cats, and one of my favourites no longer with me, was allergic to fleas. The bites would appear like you have described, hard and scabby, and I would know to treat all of the cats then. Buy a flea collar and see if the problem disappears in a week to 10 days. If your cat appears otherwise healthy and is eating properly, dont panic, but if the problem doesnt go away, its time to write a cheque for the vet. good luck|||There are many things which could cause this; flea allergy, mites under the skin, ticks, insect bites, food allergies; whatever it is, DONT just "wait for it to go away" How would you like it if some maggots were burrowing under your skin and the doc said "wait for it to go away"? Whatever is is, your cat is in pain and discomfort- just because it cant say "Ouch, it hurts" doesnt meean he is fine!! Get him to a vet, fast. Home remedies do not work, and all the while you are trying them, your cat is in pain and the condition is getting worse. SICK CATS NEED VETS%26gt;|||Sounds like ticks to me. They burrow their head under the skin and feed on the blood getting larger and larger. When they have had enough they just drop off. Don't try to pull them off or the head gets left behind and gets infected. Cats pick them up in the garden and there isn't a lot you can do to stop them apart from using something like Frontline. If in doubt always ask your vet.|||could be little flea bites and have been itching badly by thier claws when they scratch

My wife has a rash on her upper thigh, skin is peeling too what is it?

Its kinda a bumpy rash inside her thigh near her vigina. She wont go to dr or clean it regular. It seems to be getting worse. She is a big woman.|||Considering she is a bigger woman, and the location of the rash...this is probably heat rash (you can google it) or a type of fungus that is growing. On the other hand, if your wife is promiscuous then it could be some kind of STD since it is so close to her vagina. Its gross that she won't clean it (which is probably why she has it to begin with). It is stupid that she won't go to the doctor. If I were you, I'd refuse to be intimate with her or even sleep in the same bed with her (where you could rub up against that rash) until she goes to the doctor. If she doesn't its only going to get worse, painful, and probably spread. Good luck.|||maybe thrush... see the doctor|||big people often have problems with skin rubbing between the legs, she may be very embarassed, try to be sensitive about it, baby powder can help reduce friction.

Has anyone heard that dairy can irritate skin and cause acne/rash?

Absolutely, yes! My specialist told me that 100% of people over the age of 4 years are lactose intolerant. Some don't have symptoms or they have another disorder directly related which goes undiagnosed as lactose intolerance.


If you think about it, cows milk is designed for baby cows. It takes them up to a ton of weight in a few short years!


Milk has a lot of benefits as far as vitamins go, but I choose to supplement my diet with good quality supplements and eliminate all of the other problems milk was creating.|||Yes. It also causes increased muscus production.|||Actually Dairy especailly Skim Milk, can cause terrible acne, it is even worse then chocolate|||yeah if u are allergic to dairy products..please see an allergist for evaluation|||Very possible. Sugar does as well. Replace with Stevia and Calcium Citrate 500 mg per day (along with magnesium and zinc 10 mg if you want the calcium supported)





Dairy causes lung irritation and asthma.





For direct application, put a few to some drops of Essential Oil of Carrot Seed and put in your daily creme or lotion, or go to burtsbees.com and get their carrot day creme.|||It sounds like you might have a allergic reaction to it!!!|||http://www.health911.com/remedies/rem_ac...

Is there any remedies for itchy skin that works/no rash?

My grandmother has had an itchy back for weeks and nothing is working? She has tried alcohol, peroxide, an oatmeal bath, cetaphil lotion, epsom salt, and coco butter and nothing has worked. Any suggestions, over the counter or medication?Thanks.|||Try some sunburn lotion. I know it says it's for sunburn but it helps with itch too. The kind I use is Ocean Potion. It has lidocane and aloe. (lidocane is what you get at the dentist)


It really helps to calm the itch a lot. It's approx $4.00 a bottle. I get it at Wal Mart if there is one near you.|||Have you tried the Aveeno Anti-Itch lotion?|||go to a pharmacy and ask they can help you if it is not a doctor.|||I know! I have that same problem and nothing seems to work.she needs willpower to not itch it and also,try rubbing some ice on the parts that are itching.it will cool it down...and if she can rub an actual ice on it,then try putting an ice pack wrapped in a small towel and compressing it to the areas of itching.|||trya baking soda bath or even pastign on bakingsoda onthe itching areas .


good luck|||cortazone!!!!!! works for everything|||why is her back itchy? does she have dry skin? maybe she should exfoliate and then use some plain old baby oil.|||She is probably not getting enough omega 3 oils in her diet. And then she can try the herb marshmallow to help retain moisture within, especially useful after menopause.





An excellent external topical treatment for dry skin is Emu oil. It penetrates very deeply into the skin. You would mix that in with a carrier lotion or oil. That is also really great for dry cracked feet, or sunburn. It also has healing, non-inflammatory properties (for rash's).

Would you rather have your skin covered in itchy rash or listen to Barry Manilow belt out a love song?

Ooooooh Baby, Barry gives me the goose bumps. I do like me some Barry! He makes my pants dance!

After using baby oil to treat dry skin, I devolped a rash and I am looking for a treatment to get rid of it.?

Take Benadryl (by mouth) and apply hydrocortisone cream. And next time stay away from the baby oil.|||Aveeno lotion will help get rid of the rash. It has oatmeal in it and is found at Wal-mart or local drugstore.|||baby oil has petroleum, find a product with dimethacone--that what we used on my babies when they had rash; and on my mom when her confinement to bed from paralysis caused rash from skin "rot". Johnson's makes a baby cream with dimethacone, but sometimes you have to ask the pharmacist to order it from his/her jobber. It really makes a diff.

What are the different kinds of skin rashes a person can get in the HEAT?

I am having some skin irritation problems anyway, but I am noticing extra-itchy forearms in this very hot weather. (Also a red spotty rash) Also I do know that body creases are more prone to heat rashes. Who has advice or knowledge?|||best advice is to stay out the heat or at least direct sunlight if u can. u can get little red bumps which is a rash from the heat or u could get big red boils from the heat.....dont itch the rash it makes it so much worse, go to the local store and buy anti itching cream or aloe vera works good and put that on, until u can get to the store for something, wet a washcloth with very cold water, and dab it on the rash....will make it feel better.|||I tried the Gold Bond spray, cooled the area and calmed the bumps a bit. Mine was really itchy so I took Benadryl and used Lantacort(?) anti itch cortisone cream, cut the toes off some socks, and wore that to bed. After a couple of days, I used the Gold Bond powder (I sound like my Grandma). Try that in the creases if it's feasible. I carry around pre-moistened towelettes, too, because I'm prone to surface bacterial infections (yum).





My co-worker from Georgia says the key is to keep it dry.|||Heat rash treatments are generally quite basic and include cooling the skin and body and keeping the affected skin areas dry. Cool showers and light loose fitting clothing will help. In addition, staying out of the sun would also be a good idea. Seeking an air-conditioned environment is beneficial. In many cases, the prickly rash will disappear on its own in a short amount of time, if the basic advice given above is followed. Calamine lotion can soothe the itch, but avoid any oil-based products because these may lead to additional skin pore clogging and prevent the heat rash healing process from occurring.

Are hot or cold showers better for your skin if you have a rash?

I have this horrable rash all over my upper body and figured that either a really hot or really cold shower would be better for it and help soothe the pain.... which one? also do baking soda baths help? if so... how do i do it?|||you should go to a dermatologist if it persists. a cool shower is best|||Hot or cold may irritate depending on why you have the rash.|||If you have a rash, a hot shower will make it worse because it dries your skin out. A quick, cool shower is best, and then apply a good lotion immediately afterward.

My skin on my back hurts but there is no marks or rash?

the past 6 months i have noticed the skin on my back feels irritated when it is touched and lately it feels like it has spread down to the top of my butt. it is hard for me to lay on my back when i sleep and be touched. there are NO marks or rashes and it feels like it is right under my skin. i dont know if this matters but i had my whole thyoid removed in 04. somebody please any suggestions!|||I wish I could help, but I have no idea. Maybe an infection under your skin?? I would probably see both a dermatologist as well as your primary care physician.|||If its been going on for six months you need to see a doctor, it could be you just have a muscular strain, which will linger is not rested, or it could be a pinched nerve, herniated disc. Its been to long of a time to correlate your thyroidectomy with this pain, it sounds more like an inflammation of of sorts, take some motrin 600mg if your around 130-140 lbs, or 800mg if your 170-190lbs. But see a doctor some time within the next two weeks

Oil of oregano on skin rashes?

can u put oil of oregano on your skin to get rid of a rash? i heard it works similiar to tea tree oil? will it burn and dry out your skin? or will it actually work? i am very curious i have a rash on my face and allergic to most skin things.....|||it might burn so be careful. Mix it with something like olive oil to dilute it. Dap with a q-tip to see how it feels first,|||try Benedryl cream and a visit to your doctor.

Boston Terrier constantly scratches, skin very broken out with rash.?

My 13 yr. old female Boston Terrier began itching and breaking out all over her body approx. 2 yr. ago. I have taken her to the Vet. many times and he has checked her for any skin disease or parracites and none were found. He told me she had developed allergies. We have even had her on Antibiotics due to the odor she develops from the constant scratching. She rubs against anything that will scratch the itch. She especially likes the hearth of the fireplace that sticks out just over her back. I have tried different foods, shampoos, etc. but nothing seems to help. I have even tried rincing her with Colloidal Silver (natural antibiotic) after her bath.


She acts so misserable. Does anyone have a solution or experience with the same condition?|||The itching is probably worse during tree pollen time. This is very common with pedigree dogs because the inbreeding it took to get them a certain way broke down some of their natural workings.





You can give your dog a benadryl. It sounds like it should be about the weight of a 10 year old child so use child doses. This will give your dog a great deal of relief.





You might want to bathe it in anti itch shampoos once a week during high pollen times. You can go to the weather channel online and check the pollen count to see if it is trees, grass, or food pollens that bother it the most.





If you find it is in trouble year round, you might want to get a mold kit from Menards and test your house. Many homes have molds and the owners don't even know! I tested my house and found 5 different types in the test dish.





We removed the carpets, sealed the floors, laid new mold resistant padding and then laminate flooring. We used Kilz paint in the whole house and used TSP on the walls and floors before painting. We also added mold retardant to the final paint. I made sure our gutters are cleaned four times a year (we live in the woods) and we releveled the yard to make sure water goes away from the house.





Still, with the matteress in an allergy bag and no curtains, only blinds, I have some troubles with allergies but nothing like it was.





Now, its only when the tree pollen is high that I have trouble. But, if I walk into a house with mold, I get an instant migrain.





I hope this info helps. I am surprised the vet didn't put your pet on hydrocortazone shots and benadryl pills.|||It is best to find out the source of the itch and treat it. But since It seems like you already tried then you can relieve your pet's itch with calomine lotion or an over the counter spray or lotion corticosteroid. Sometimes adding vitamins such as vitamin C, Vitamin E, selenium and zinc will help (ask your veterinarian for the correct dose for your dog) or adding one teaspoon of safflower oil to your dog's food daily. I hope one of these help!|||Is it possible that she is allergic to some type of floor cleaner? I've had this happen a few times with different dogs.|||my dog had a problem like that and she was allergic to the grass|||had the same problem with my dog so i tried using suda cream for nappy rash no more scratching she seems's so much happier. try any nappy rash cream. good luck.|||We had a golden retriever that developed the same allergy problem and it got to the point he was losing hair getting scaly skin and there began to be this horrid odor. We tried giving him children's benedryl our vet said it was ok and that brought down some of the swelling. Also with the hot spot we'd put an ice pack on with the poor guy and it seemed to do the trick. Also you may want to switch foods we found out that he needed an all natural food and that he developed a food allergy which is similar to when a person breaks out in hives. try it , it may be a food allergy|||I have the same problem. Vet says nothing is wrong, tried all shampoos but nothing helps. His little nub of a tail looks awful where he is constantly licking and biting to get rid of the itch. He has very dry skin. We have a friend who just recently told me to try putting baby oil in his bath water.|||My Boston had a similar problem, her skin was all itchy and irritated, especially in her armpits on her front and hind legs [or should I say legpits??]. The vet said her skin was getting too dry, because it was summer. She developed an inflamation from all the scratching and had to take antibiotics for a while. We started to give her fish oil with vitamin E supplements daily, and her condition improved a lot after a few weeks of taking fish oil. Now we switched to these pills Skin %26amp; Coat Support from PetNaturals, they contain vitamin E and fatty acids and don't smell half as bad as raw fish oil does. She still scratches occasionally but much much less now, not to the point that she gets sick from it.





Also when she was scratching a lot we used to spray the areas she was scratching with Dermoplast [antibacterial pain relieving spray], in order to relief her itching and reduce her risk of getting an infection. And the vet prescribed her some shampoo that was supposed to moisturize her skin.





Hope it helps :)|||consult the skin care doctor why you are in internet

What can cause ankles to itch? there is no visible rash or dry skin..?

maybe try washing them with Dial soap.|||yea there might be dirt of something on it making it ich. Otherwise im not sure what it could be. u could try using an ich stick if u have one.

Unusual Skin rashes after you had your baby???

Has anyone ever experienced unusual skin rashes after you had your baby? I have a weird rash on my arms and on my legs...It almost looks like ringworm but it hasn't spread to anyone else in my family. Any comments? I have an appointment to see my Doc today but thought I'd ask you guys and see if its just from hormones. Thanks a bunch!|||I had my first breakout after my first baby, then from then on it was when ever I had issues like stress and anxiety. It was recognized by my Doctor after I was tested for everything and it could not be explained, and I was sent to a psychiatrist. They put me on a med and it has totally stopped. The rash kind of looked like ring worm, or very large hives about the size of a quarter and bigger. Hurt or was very sore like a bruise...|||could be nerves.|||Not everyone gets these, but it seems to be hereditary in my family. My aunts get them, I got them and my mom had them.

I went to the doc and found out it was a heat rash (started that way) and I had scratched it so much that it got inflammed from any bacteria on my hands, etc. I thought I was gonna come out of my skin from scratching.





I think it can be common due to the body changes, having a little one on you 24/7, etc.

My symptoms are an itchy rash or itchy skin around the throat and chest and arms, and a sore throat...?

What do I have?|||Scarlet fever.


Scarlet fever is caused by an infection with group A streptococcus bacteria. The bacteria make a toxin (poison) that can cause the scarlet-colored rash from which this illness gets its name.





Not all streptococci bacteria make this toxin and not all kids are sensitive to it. Two kids in the same family may both have strep infections, but one child (who is sensitive to the toxin) may develop the rash of scarlet fever while the other may not.


Symptoms of Scarlet Fever


The rash is the most striking sign of scarlet fever. It usually begins looking like a bad sunburn with tiny bumps and it may itch. The rash usually appears first on the neck and face, often leaving a clear unaffected area around the mouth. It spreads to the chest and back, then to the rest of the body. In body creases, especially around the underarms and elbows, the rash forms classic red streaks. Areas of rash usually turn white when you press on them. By the sixth day of the infection the rash usually fades, but the affected skin may begin to peel.





Aside from the rash, there are usually other symptoms that help to confirm a diagnosis of scarlet fever, including a reddened sore throat, a fever above 101 degrees Fahrenheit (38.3 degrees Celsius), and swollen glands in the neck. The tonsils and back of the throat may be covered with a whitish coating, or appear red, swollen, and dotted with whitish or yellowish specks of pus. Early in the infection, the tongue may have a whitish or yellowish coating.


When scarlet fever occurs because of a throat infection, the fever typically stops within 3 to 5 days, and the sore throat passes soon afterward. The scarlet fever rash usually fades on the sixth day after sore throat symptoms began, but skin that was covered by rash may begin to peel. This peeling may last 10 days. With antibiotic treatment, the infection itself is usually cured with a 10-day course of antibiotics, but it may take a few weeks for tonsils and swollen glands to return to normal.





Treating Scarlet Fever


If your child has a rash and the doctor suspects scarlet fever, he or she will usually take a throat culture (a painless swab of throat secretions) to see if the bacteria grow in the laboratory. Once a strep infection is confirmed, the doctor will likely prescribe an antibiotic for your child to be taken for about 10 days.





You need to go to doctor for throat culture.|||call the doctor!!!|||That sounds very much like scarlet fever (which is essentially strep throat accompanied by an itchy rash). You should see a doctor.|||go to web MD or go to the dr, why ask people on here??|||scarlet fever! rosacea! go to the doc before you die!|||Look it up in a medical book or call the docter!|||Sounds like Flu to me,Take some Nurofen|||depends, i'd put my stakes on either strep throat or an allergic reaction|||If you have taken any medication lately or been exposed to something organic, or even eaten something like shellfish, you may be experiencing an allergic reaction.

I have a rash on my skin. It has been a year, and not on face or feet. It gets worse with heat and warm water.

It is itchy and has like small boils come up on hands and palms. IMy 2 children have it only minor, their's comes and goes..what could this be?|||It could be some sort of urticaria. There is numerous reasons that cause urticaria eg. sweating, foods, pressure, vibration, cold, heat, water, stress... Do you mean that you have this rash all over body except for face and feet?

Good luck|||Go to the doctor. It's better to be safe then sorry|||Sounds like eczema. Find a good dermatologist and they will get you a prescription medication that should clear it right up.|||Sounds like it could be a fungal infection...a fungal infection can spread from person to person and maybe that why your children have it too.

I would try talking to your Doc...

I have a small rash on my skin. can it be staph infection?

its on my wrist. i have no other problems like joints or anything its jus that.|||Probably not, but it is always possible. Usually staph presents as an ulcerated sore.|||A staph infection is just that... an infection. It would look much like a dark red area on your skin, not really any bumps or anything just dark red. It can be warm to the touch too. if you notice red streaks going up your arm then you really need to go to your doctors or better yet, an urgent care or ER cause the streaking is signsof an infection spreading and is in some serious need of IV antibiotics.





When in doubt make an appt. at your local dermatologist and they can help you figure out whats going on.





Good luck|||A staph infection usually swells and spreads so I doubt it. However, if it doesn't go away it is always better to go get it checked out than leave it hoping it will go away on its own.|||It is possible but more likely a contact dermatitis. Sometimes we come in contact with a material, we may not even know what it was, and our body over reacts to it causing a rash. This type of rash is usually patchy little bumps and are itchy. Staph infections will cause a large reddened area with ulcerations in the skin or blistering of the skin. If you scratch this rash and it breaks the skin at all then you would be at a higher risk of getting a staph infection. We all carry staph on our skin all the time. It is only harmful when the skin has an open area for it to invade and also when you have a compromised immune system as seen in chronic diseases, elderly, cancer pateints, and children etc...|||Go to ( genniesalve.com ) It has been helping alot of people. And Its all natural, and really works Great.

Why does scratching a rash makes the skin feel good temporary?

Gate pain management theory. Basically, the brain can only read so much stimulation at once. Itching is your body's lowest pain signal, by scratching you confuse your nerves (scratching is actually a step above itching on the pain scale) and your brain "ignores" the itch to focus on the sensation caused by scratching.

Well, for severe dry skin, I would recommend several things. One thing that you could do is to drink more water. Another thing that could work is lotion.

You can prevent infection by applying an antibiotic cream to the face during the day, since it is less greasy than the ointment version. Use antibiotic ointment, since it is most moisturizing, at night. Using a hydrocortisone treatment will likely delay healing since it is a steroid, and those suppress immune function (which is how they reduce redness). Elidel will likely not help in this one spot, since it is essentially a chemical "burn".





Keep in mind this is only temporary -- it will subside. If your RetinA is too irritating, you need to step back in the frequency of your applications. To reduce sensitivity in the future, you can also return to the dermatologist and request a topical application called Nicomide-T. It's a topical anti-inflammatory which helps treat acne, and it also helps to reduce the redness and irritation caused by retinoids (like RetinA).|||The best thing you can do is to see a dermatologist.

Small rash like lumps, broken skin on my cat's face ... what could it be?

For the second time in thre months my two year old cat has developed a rash of small umps all over her 'face', especially around her eyes and eyebrows.





They are similar to blisters and seem to have 'broken', as several of them have formed small scabs which are rough to the touch.

Watch out though if after two to three days that it don't disappear. Maybe you're having more than a blood reaction. If that is so, consult your physician so that you will be able to determine what is the real cause of those red rashes.





I'm presuming that you have drank beer or even pure alcohol meaning just one kind like vodka or tequila, but if you had cocktails then maybe you're allergic to the fruit or other ingredients that the cocktail contain.|||Most of the alcohol that the body takes in is broken down in a two step reaction.





Step one is the conversion of alcohol to acetaldehyde by an enzyme called alcohol dehydrogenase.





Step two is the conversion of acetaldehyde into acetic acid by an enzyme called aldehyde dehydrogenase.





Alcohol, of course, causes intoxication. Acetaldehyde causes red flushing, dizziness, nausea, headaches, and sometimes low blood pressure.





Some people have an overactive alcohol dehydrogenase and some people have an underactive acetaldehyde dehydrogenase - either condition leads to a buildup of acetaldehyde after drinking alcohol and it's the acetaldehyde that causes the flushing, etc.





If this is what's going on with you, it's likely to happen the next time you drink alcohol as well. Some folks with this condition find that they can take a small amount of alcohol without having a reaction - it all depends on their levels of enzyme activity.





Interestingly, there is a drug called disulfiram (Antabuse) which was developed to try to help people quit drinking. It interferes with aldehyde dehydrogenase and those when people take Antabuse and then drink, they end up with a LOT of acetaldehyde in their system which makes them quite sick. The idea is that this keeps them from drinking again in the future. The only trouble with the medication is that people catch on that if they stop taking the Antabuse, they can resume drinking without having a disulfiram reaction...

Is she drinking a lot of acidic juices?|||strong urine or alot of loose stools. also if they sit in a diaper to long like at night some skins are more sensitive to that. try putting baby corn starch on her to see if that helps. its sold with the baby powders. there is also one your dr. can perscribe that works well. good luck|||It could also be allergies to milk or the diapers. Those are the most common ones that causes diaper rash. Also may be soap or super sensitive skin. My youngest can only use pampers. My olderst could only have huggies. And my middle could only use loves and all three were intolerent to milk. A common rash is fungus or yeast. Lotramin will help or perscription from dr. Bring it to the dr's attention.|||My son has sensitive skin, and his diaper area gets extremely inflamed when he has a bowel movement following spaghetti, pizza, or anything with tomato sauce.





I tried all of the "rash" treatments for babies, but none of them had any affect. It wasn't really a rash as much as it looked like a chemical burn where his skin reacted to the acid from the tomatoes.





It is too hard to avoid tomato sauce since it is in all of his favorite foods. He doesn't have any other side affects - just his bottom after the bowel movement. So I got creative when he was crying yet again about his diaper area hurting. I found a burn relief gel with Lidocaine at Walmart and used a small amount on him. Within 10 minutes, he was playing normally - and even scooting around on his butt like it didn't hurt anymore. After 4 treatments, the "burn" was completely healed.





Please check with your doctor to find out if it is a rash, yeast infection, or something else entirely. Just keep listening to your instincts that something is wrong that a traditional "rash" cream hasn't helped.





Good luck.|||Quite often it's just being in a peed or dirty diaper for too long.


We used cloth diapers, and had no problems with diaper rash even when we went to disposables at 8 mos, because we were in the habit of changing often.


Did you try Penaten cream?|||Try a better diaper brand. My daughter is the same way she can only wear the expensive diapers or she will get a rash. change persistently. Let your daughters bottom air out as often as possible by leaving off her diaper for 20 min after each change also a quick wash off with water in the tub after each change helps sooooo much. I hope you solve the issues a rash can cause alot if irritation and irritability.

I have 3 boys and had to give up breastfeeding one because of allergies, but before you even think of that try eliminating certain foods from your diet one at a time and remember it takes time to get in you r milk and out so give it a few days before you say that's not it. Common allergies are milk, eggs, nuts. Hopefully it will be as simple as you eliminating something from your diet.


Another thing to look at is his bath soaps, laundry soaps, powder, wipes. Any disinfectants you use, air fresheners, pets and plants.

The symptoms most often associated with dry skin include:





Scaling


Itching


Cracks in the skin


Dry skin is common. It happens more often in the winter when cold air outside and heated air inside cause low humidity. Forced-air furnaces make skin even drier.





The skin loses moisture and may crack and peel, or become irritated and inflamed. Bathing too frequently, especially with harsh soaps, may contribute to dry skin. Eczema may cause dry skin





It may help to change your bathing habits:





Keep baths or showers short.


Use warm (not hot) water.


Use as little soap as possible. Limit its use to face, armpits, and genitals if you can. Try mild cleansers like Aveeno or Cetaphil or mild soaps like Neutrogena or Dove.


Dry your skin thoroughly but gently -- pat, DON'T rub.


Take baths or showers less often.|||You could just have really dry skin. Try lotion obviously, but also don't take very hot showers and drink water to hydrate your body.|||You may be susceptible to eczema. However, as with all skin conditions, only a specialist can really determine the type of disorder you are suffering from.





During winter, many people tend to experience dry skin. So, moisturizing is key this period. However, not any kind of lotion will do. Avoid the use of those with fragrance or with synthetic chemicals.

Itchy blister-like rash all over the body and patches of red skin - what could this be?

I am freaking out right now. Earlier today my neck got very red and was very itchy. I assumed it was just a bunch of mosquito bites - there are many mosquitos in my area and I usually get bit, so I didn't think this was anything different; however, as the day progressed I noticed that my skin started to get red in huge blotches and just on my arm it looks like I have 100s of blisters/rash. It then got on my face, but after a few hours passed. Now this rash has moved onto my lower body and is on my legs, and still on my hands. I will call myself an ambulance in the morning, but I'm not going to bother now because the hospitals in my area don't have enough docs at nighttime and I will be forced to wait there till morning anyway. I'm trying to remain calm but this rash is unlike I've ever seen - I've never had anything remotely similar to this and it is freaking me out - not to mention it itches like there's no tomorrow. I would like to know what this could possibly be and how serious.|||It sounds like Shingles. Sadly it started when you couldn't have gotten to the doctor's because they could have prescribed you a medicine right away for it, to slow down the process. It's very painful and annoying. Whatever you do, don't scratch..Hospital emergency rooms are useless and will make you wait forever, no matter what time of the day. i would cal your doctor the minute he opens and have him get you in asap.


Count your lucky stars if it isn't shingles. It may be a food allergy. Write down everything you ate the day/night you discovered it.


Good Luck.|||How did you write all that when itchy and scratchy? Well done! It's either a serious allergy or the chicken pocks. (did I write that correctly?) Hurry to the hospital because you need medical care!

Lyme is usually easily treatable when you get it early, but can cause serious problems, even death, if it is left untreated.





But if the rash is a solid circle rather than a ring, it may be some sort of allergic reaction to food, or clothing, or something else you come in contact with, or it might be another kind of bug bite, or it could be a symptom of some internal diseases. Only a doctor can give you a real diagnosis. Don't rely on answers from th wackos you may encounter here.

Can leather cause a rash on your skin?

Since I started my new job, I spend most of my day sitting in an office chair, which happens to be leather. I've noticed a rash appearing on my butt lately and I'm just curious if that could be the case. Any ideas?|||Unless you are sitting in the chair with your butt bare, it should not be an allergy to leather itself. Cleaning products can be volatile enough to go through clothing though. I'd suggest buying or making a seat cover of some kind - maybe fleece or a foam pad with a removable washable cover. Don't leave it on the chair overnight or it might get "cleaned" with the same stuff that's bothering you to begin with. You could even try one of those funky elastic covers meant for toilet seats - anything that can be removed easily and washed regularly to rid it of any chemical buildup.|||I purchased a leather string for a necklace. I developed a bad rash around my neck. I had found from my doctor that some chemicals are used to cure leather prior to using for various products. You may be allergic to that chemical as well.

What could this be...

Any clue.. would be appreciated. God bless u.|||It could be an allergy, insect bites (bed bugs?), eczema, atopic dermatitis, or a viral or bacterial infection or even rarer conditions.

All you need is a tube of eucerine cream on your skin which works very well. It may not be getting better if you stay in the sun too long or shower for long periods. Try to stay out the sun as much as you can and also take very short showers with warm not hot water.|||I would try a different dermatologist. They should have been able to diagnose this better by now. Good luck!





~personal experience~|||Well, since we don't know what your rash looks like, this is a tough one to answer, but when I had a mysterious rash on my elbow once the pharmacist said to use a combo of 1/2 Eucerine and 1/2 hydrocortisone, and it cleared up within just a few days when nothing else had worked. Otherwise, see a another dermatologist.|||go to a skin specialist|||You should take a warm shower not too hot and wash your body down with a liquid soap called phisoderm which can be bought over the counter (no prescription necessary).


As I said wash your self all over with that soap. But DO NOT rub the liquid soap under your arm pits or if the rash is on your arms do not rub soap there with your hands. In other words where ever the rash is do not rub soap directly on it with your hands. The soap will just irritate your rash on the skin. Your arm or arm pits will get cleaned in general by the effect of the sopa while you are in the shower.





After your ashower dry yourself off but do not rub the rash area with the towel as this will irritate the rash just pat dry it with the towel. Wait a few minutes until you are totally dry and apply "corn starch" on the affected area where the rash is.


Just a box of plain corn starch from the supermarket shelf. Not corn starch powder with medication in it nor a medicated body powder found in the health and beauty aids section of the drugstore. IN other words just PLAIN OLD CORN STARCH which is used for cookig.





The corn starch is a natural remedy for irritated skin. Apply the corn starch in the same way that a person would put on powder after taking a "shower."





Years ago when my uncle had had a skin rash when he was a kid and had to go into the hospital they gave him corn starch baths and then applied corn starch on his rash and he was cured of his rash. I use corn starch instead of powder and it keeps the skin on my arms and legs healthy and dry.





After doing that for several days then the rash should clear up. When the rash is cleared up about 2 or 3 times a week you should take a fresh lemon into the shower with you and sprinkle some lemon over you with the shower water running over you after you have rinsed yourself completely of the soap that you use when washing in the shower. The lemon is a natural anti-bacterial agent and it will help to keep your skin healthy. Just remember to use it only about 2 or 3 times a week no more than that. This is because lemon is acidic and too often and some people can get irritated skin if done every day.





Also try not to use a cream on a rash as a rash is similiar to getting a sunburn on the skin. In other words the skin is hot and irritated where the rash is just like the sjkin is hot after a sunburn and applying a creame to the skin is like putting butter on a hot frying pan. You can hear the butter sizzle on the frying pan. The irritated skin by a rash is similiar to a hot frying pan.





Thank you for reading this and I wish you the best of success.


Also corn starch is safer than powder as there is no medicated ingredients like they put into talcum powder form the bottle of powder. Therefore there is less chance to irritate the skin.|||Make a paste of fresh ginger and apply on your rashes for 3 to 5 days and it will vanish.Also if possible eat ginger achaar with your meals.Ginger is natural skin healer.|||be very careful, it might be the deadly disease SLE.do immidiately skin biopsy and also all the blood tests.i warn you i have suffered enough of this disease and i too tried the same as you did, but do as i say immidiately.do not consider any herbal or natural medicine, it will only increase, i warn you for you life, because if you leave this like that the disease will bad and you will suffer.but i find that you are in the first few sympomic stages of sle.so go to a hematologist now.|||an urad base scrub will do
