Avatar f tn I have been having like spots that are very itchy. The skin around them is red and the itch is intense. They are different size and the biggest is about 2 cm wide. They started to appear on the legs then the forearms, the elbows and now on my back. I have them on the same part of the body. Meaning I have some on the inside of my left and right calves for example. Same on the outside of my left and right thighs. After a hot bath they weep.
Avatar n tn You can apply some calamine lotion at the rash as it will help in soothing the skin. You can take some OTC oral antihistamine medications like Benadryl or Claritin and see if it helps. For mild-moderate symptoms a weak steroid may be used (e.g. hydrocortisone as dermacort), whilst more severe cases require a higher-potency steroid (e.g. clobetasol propionate, fluocinonide). If still the symptoms do not improve then pls get a clinical examination done by a dermatologist.
Avatar n tn Hi. This could be allergic contact dermatitis. It may be useful to take an antihistamine tablet such as Piriton, available without prescription, in addition to using hydrocortisone. If it doesn't clear up promptly, see your doctor again as hydrocortisone whould not be used on the face for long periods. If you develop any other symptoms such as closing of the airways, difficulty breathing or swelling of the tongue or fingers seek medical advice immediately. Allergic reactions can be serious.
Avatar m tn i am using a oral antihistamine but my penis is still itchy.
Avatar m tn FOr a couple of weeks now, my penis has been itchy. Especially where the ring of skin goes around the head, and where my penis touches my balls all day long. I have had oral sex with another guy lately, but nothing else. I have tried Lamisil, Cortaid and others to hopefullly get it to heal and go away. What is it? I hope it is just jock itch and not herpes! What do you think? I have a Dr. appt for next week, but was wondering what others thought. Thanks for the help.
Avatar f tn I have asked about VERY itchy skin and it sounds like I am not alone. In addition to the itchiness, my skin is red for the most part of the day. It is over most of my body - face, arms, chest. Does anyone else have that happen? I am wondering if Benadryl would help. If it is due to my wacky autonomic nervous system (is it?), is there really anything that could help. It is driving me crazy and at times I am scratching so hard that I actually tear up my skin.
Avatar f tn I have skin that flakes right around my eyebrows, and you can see where it looks like salty white patches, not big flakes or anything. What can I do about this, and what is the cause?

Avatar n tn It sounds like the antihistamine may be drying your skin or possibly you have allergy skin. You may have a food allergy contributing to your allergies. You could try eliminating common offenders, such as milk, soy, wheat, citrus, etc.
Avatar f tn I worked this past weekend cutting trees and the other day my skin was itchy, bumpy, and it looks like im getting swollen where the bumps are located they are in different parts such as my hands, arms, and face.
Avatar m tn hi, from last 3 days i have an itchy neck skin (front side). what could be the cause?
Avatar f tn not life or death type allergies, but sneezing, itchy nose and eyes, headaches. I take a one a day antihistamine to deal with it. .. but it says on the box not to take if pregnant. Im only 7 weeks, and have stopped taking them... but my allergies are horrible at the moment. All the sneezing is not helping with my morning sickness. During my last pregancey my symptoms actually went away but not this time... my question is can i take my antihistamine?
Avatar n tn It starts as small blister/pimple like bumps and is EXTREMELY Itchy!! It is mainly on my ankles and midsection but is all over. what could this be?
Avatar n tn I had unprotected sex with this guy about 2-3 weeks ago and a few days later i started getting all of these small itchy bumps like flea bites ALL OVER my inner thighs and inside of my butt cheeks.They itch really bad!! I noticed now that there are a few on my stomach.I looked up herpes and the pics look NOTHING like them. I thought maybe he had bed bugs or something but why only in these two areas?
Avatar f tn Hello I am a young female, I usually have normal to oily skin, but just yesterday I woke up and noticed bumps all along my forehead, very small like goosebumps almost. Yet, noticeable. I have larger bumps on my neck but not near big enough to be hives. They're very itchy and are hard to notice unless touched. Please help! Currently I'm using antihistamine and aloe Vera gel to relive it.
