Avatar f tn It is very common to be itchy while using any opiates. Any antihistamine should help you and if you have specific areas, a over the counter topical cream (hydrocortisone) will help too.
Avatar n tn The following picture I post under here, is not my skin situation right now, but about 1 month ago. I allways feel very easy very dry and therefor have to use cream to make it better. But 1 month ago I tried to stop using cream(moisture), and only using water 1-2 times a day. After 4 days without any creme my skin looked like this: Look at the flaking dry red spots. And beetween my eyebrows I got a kind of dermatittis. And remember this is ONLY after 4 days where I ONLY used water.
Avatar n tn I take Aerius (antihistamine) and use Taro-Clobetasol (a topical corticosterooid cream) and it clears it up within a few days! Hope this helps!
Avatar f tn Thank you for the advice. I used Gentamycin eye drops and hydrocortisone cream on the skin area which is about 1 inch or so under my eye. The swelling is not as bad as yesterday. I had the Gentamycin eye drops from after my surgery. This seems to reoccur and I don't know if allergies play a role or not. Also started taking an antihistamine.
Avatar n tn I just got prescribed a cream called elidel for my perioral dermititis and oral medication which I will be taking for 3 months. I have been using the cream for 2 days but I have not yet started the pills because the pharmacy has to order it. will the pills treat faster then the cream because the cream does not seem to be doing anything.

Avatar n tn After my husband showers under hot water he develops a rash on his neck which he treats with Vaseline moisturizer (he's doesn't really care about what he puts on as long as some kind of lotion is on it- typical guy) . I've noticed it stays dry, red and flaky. Any suggestions on any topical cream he can use? I'd appreciate some help! Thank you.
1722607 tn?1335747858 Fluocinonide Cream is a topical adrenocortical steroid. It works by reducing skin inflammation (redness, swelling, itching, and irritation) by a way that is not clearly understood.
Avatar n tn he told me it was the skin infection Cellulitis and He immediately gave me an Intravanous in hospital and Clindahexal (clindamycin) and Bactroban topical cream. The clindahexal is a very strong dose (8 a day) at a 12 day course. I saw rapid results from the IV and the healing of the infection slowed down drastically a day or two later. So I went back and got another IV about a week later and a 3rd one the following day, as it was showing rapid results.
Avatar f tn You can apply an anti-itch cream or lotion to the affected area. Oral antihistamine, such as Benadryl can also be used. Your mother should take a comfortably cool bath and wear smooth-textured cotton clothing. If the symptoms persist then get an evaluation done from a dermatologist as topical and oral steroids may be needed. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.
1673665 tn?1304111210 Hey i went recently the the doctor and they give my Corticosteroids cream i applyed this cream on my hands and elbows and it showed improvement within 3 days already He said to me to apply it for 10 days and after il will be like new :) Thank you very much for your help !!
Avatar f tn Hello, It can be due to contact dermatitis to the Benzamycin cream or fixed drug eruption due to the topical cream. FDE or fixed drug eruption may fade slowly and so may take a long time to go away. Although they resolve spontaneously but an oral antihistamine (e.g., hydroxyzine) and a topical corticosteroid may be needed. I would suggest you to consult a dermatologist and get it evaluated.
Avatar m tn I have been on topical steroids for eczema for a long time now and I’m a 21 yr old male. I usually apply them to my face and some on my hands. Every night I do use the steroids, my anus and butt itch like crazy! I have narrowed it down to the steroids! Is this possible (maybe it’s in my bloodstream?). And if it is, what my anus? This is very weird, any help would be appreciated.
Avatar f tn cortizone-10, or a prescription for stronger, up to 2.5% cortizone). I stayed dosed on benadryl, too. Some people have used a stronger antihistamine prescription, atarax. BTW, skin reactions are a leading cause of people not being able to complete treatment. Try to hang in there -- sorry, I know it sux!
Avatar n tn If your symptoms are worse at night, please take an antihistamine like Benadryl to reduce itching until topical treatments take effect. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
Avatar f tn I went to the doctor for my hands and he gave me high powered topical cream and it was after using it for a couple days that the condition appeared on my feet. I cannot take any antihistamine or steroids orally because I am nursing and now have been using steroid cream for over 2 months. The condition will improve with the creams but still won't go away completely. Is there anything else I can try?
Avatar m tn So get an examination done by a surgeon to confirm the diagnosis.Till that time,try an over-the-counter (OTC) cream or ointment containing hydrocortisone (Cortaid, Preparation H),but it is to be applied sparingly to the affected area. A protective ointment that contains zinc oxide (Desitin, Balmex) also may help. If your symptoms are worse at night, take an antihistamine like benadryl to reduce itching until topical treatments take effect. I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
Avatar n tn the last doctor told me that it looks a little inflamed and that the reason nothing seems to relieve the itch is because the problem is deep and the topical steroids and anti fungas creams cannot work . i also received an injection of cortisone and it did not help. any ideas?
Avatar m tn Hello, Instead of Fucidin which is a topical antibiotic, you can use other topical antibiotics like Mupirocin or Neosporin. Folliculitis starts when hair follicles are damaged by friction from clothing or blockage of the follicle. In most cases of folliculitis, the damaged follicles are then infected with the bacteria Staphylococcus (staph). Please keep the area clean and apply some topical antiseptics.
Avatar m tn s like the skin is not as elastic and when the skin at the opening gets offset it rubs on my boxers and causes more irritation. Anyways could only five days use of this cream cause this and was I wrong to listen to my doctor and apply it there at the opening? Initially it was the skin inside the urthera that was red and irritated and the cream was to absorb into skin and treat it. I did not put it in the urethra but on top the skin right around the opening which some could have gotten in there.
Avatar f tn You can take some OTC oral antihistamine medications like Benadryl or Claritin and see if it helps. Also apart from the topical steroid cream, keep the area well moisturized by applying non perfumed, hypoallergenic moisturizers. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps.

4461129 tn?1354930630 This red itchy bump can also appear in insect bite. It may not be always possible to detect the allergen. Take an antihistamine like hydroxyzine for relief in itching. Apply calamine lotion. If there is no relief see a dermatologist. A clinical examination may be neccesary.In severe cases of urticaria topical and oral steroids may be prescribed. Do keep us posted. Best luck and regards!
Avatar n tn My husband has developed a lot of whitehead small spots on his forearms over the past few days. He thought they were spots and popped them but nothing came out. They start from his wrist and don't go beyond his elbow and are only on the front of his arm. Having visited the pharmacy they gave me an antihistamine cream to rub on and suggested it might be a heat rash. I know it's difficult to suggest what they might be, but any help?
