Hi. 6 weeks ago I started developing an itchy rash that started on the back of my scalp and upper back. Then appeared on the rest of my back my arms my chest and abdomen been to an allergist and she sent me to a dermatologist that did a biopsy that stated contact dermatitis or medicine reaction. The dermatologist said it could also be a food allergy. She suggested another dermatologist. I feel sick from this. Been using cortisone lotion and antihistamines not working that good. Help.
Does anyone know if it is uncommon to have only ONE food allergy and no environmental allergies and no family history of food allergies? My daughter reacted to eggs by intense vomiting. Positive skin test. No other reactions ever again, but has a lot of gastro problems. Her allergist said it was odd that she had no other allergies, but didn't know what to test for since she doesn't react to other food....
Instead of an allergy to fruit it could be an allergy to the pesticides and herbicides used by the people growing the fruit. Lately more and more people are becoming sensitive to these things whether it be in the form of sores, rashes, itching or other forms.
If you want to verify an allergy, consider setting up an appointment with a doctor specializing in allergies, or environmental allergies. It may bring some peace of mind.
I hope you find some answers. Good luck to you!
After a few days, a rash appears as a band or patch of raised dots on the side of the trunk or face. The rash develops into small, fluid-filled blisters which begin to dry out and crust over within several days. When the rash is at its peak, symptoms can range from mild itching to extreme and intense pain.
Also I just read they crust over like chicken pox did.
I am glad you are better and I hope you can figure out what it was.
9 months later, I had another numb area in the middle of my back after receiving an epideral (I do have an egg allergy that was recently diagnosed). 16 months later had a numb area on face after being placed under general anesthesia (again egg related?). A few months ago, had episode lasting 3 months or so where I was repeatedly saying wrong words while talking (happened several times every day). Then had episode where I ate egg (before allergy diagnosis) and got a numb area on face.
I have had Hives, i got that from red dye. My son gets a rash from red dye. I also get itching in my ears from bananas.
As allergic reactions are IgE mediated, blood tests will show increase in these levels secondary to a food allergy. The problem with the food allergy testing is sometimes the amount of food they challenge with may be not sufficient to elicit any allergic reactions.
When such food is consumed in large quantities can elicit allergic reaction in the form of hives, redness of skin, itching etc. You need to note down such food also in your diary and avoid the intake in future.
I am 28 weeks and crave strawberries and blueberries. Put some whip cream on the strawberries..it is like a whole new world lol. My husband makes fun of me because he says I moan when I eat it lol. I hates whip cream all my life til now!
Had a funnel cake with strawberries and whipped cream on it last night and now all I want is strawberries!
I am allergic, in the way that it makes my throat and mouth itch a lot, to cherries, peaches, (<- those two make me itch like crazy), bananas, avocados, apples, strawberries, and plums. I am allergic to some other fruits as well but it depends...it's just sometimes. Is there a specific allergy that connects to all those fruits? and is there a way to get rid of it, or lessen the effects? I think i have pollen allergies as well because i sneezed a lot during the spring.
my daughter has a horrible skin rash on the top of her foot, and right on the bone of her elbow - it is super itchy and unfortunately she scratches it to the point of bleeding. We have tried every manner of cortizone's, antibiotics, bleach baths, etc all recommended by her pediatrician and a dermatologist but nothing is curing it. One Dr says it eczema one says its impetigo but so far no treatment works. It does not look like classic eczema as her skin is just not dry?
recently about 2 weeks ago i tried a corticosteriod cream which cleared up the rash but instead gave me tons of bumps around the rash area. ( i think it was an allergic reacation) i stopped using the cream and now i'm dealing with 2 problems. the rash came back. i am back to where i started but now its even worse. i have tried many over the counter creams but had no results from it.
If it is scabies (the rash caused by mites) you more than likely will develop blisters along with the rash. Scabies is VERY contagious.
It is possible for an allergic reaction to last that long if you are not doing away with the culprit. Example: laundry detergent; if you are allergic to it and still using it, the rash will remain until you do away with it.
Your rash sounds like a possible contact dermatitis.
Dear Dr Aparna,
Thank you for your detail explanation. He told me he ate alot of strawberries for the past 2 weeks. Is this the possible cause?
Can anti-histamines be bought in drug stores or it has to be prescribed by doctors?
d avoid it at least for the pregnancy. Not sure if they can or will do allergy testing while pregnant.
So what does the rash or acne like stuff look like? Does it itch? Does it follow the hair follicles? Is there all the time? Do you have any fever?
