I have what looks like mosquito bites all over my body. This has been going on for a couple of months. They itch so bad that I scratch and scratch until it leaves marks. I put anti itch lostion on it and it helps for about 10 minutes but then it itches again. I have a friend who said she had something similar and her doctor said it was a fungus, similar to jock itch and that she could have gotten it from the gym. Have you heard of this and if so what can be done?
Most of the time it happens in evening time on my upper part of body, like on back, stomach area, chest but more on my back close to neck area. It occurs for 5 to 10 min but very intensive. And after itching over their leaves red bums for a while. Its happens only for few minutes after then nothing. Due this problem i'm having an black sptted skin on my back close to neck area. It doesn't happen everyday. Please help me out...
We took him to an alergy specialist. He said the ***** test was for immediate reactions and the patch test was for latent reactions. Since he reacts hours after getting out of the pool, he choose the patch test. The only alergy the patch test showed was to the tape used to hold the patches on his back.
Any ideas? Could there be some type of tree or plant [adjacent to two of the pools and not the other two] whose pollen has gotten in the pools?
I've been suffering with itching skin for about 5 months, it's so annoying. First of all it started with my hands being itchy, then my arms, torso, legs, now my feet and soles of my feet at this very moment are itching so bad. Usually when I'm itching my hands there are cracks and they can sometimes bleed. I have also noticed that my skin tingles under hot water (being a person who likes hot baths and showers).
Thanks so much for your response. I am not breastfeeding so I took some Zyrtec that my husband has for his allergies. Its only been an hour & the itching is soooo much better. Hopefully this condition is just due to my hormones & wont last much longer. I will take the Zyrtec til it does. Again. Thanks very much.
The "itching" side effect can manifest itself in different forms & severity. Atarax was not effective for me -- it drugged me, but did not resolve the itching. OTC Cetirizine initially worked well, but lost its effectiveness.
When the "itching" got to the point where it felt like I was being poked with pins, my doc prescribed Gabapentin (a neurological drug) to keep me on treatment. For me, Gabapentin was the right solution.
I had been to the gym, showered put on shorts and walked home. (During this time, things started itching, hence the mosquito thought) The itching was BAD during the night and still itches now. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I got these rashes that look like a bug bites on my thigh Sunday night when I got home from work. It really itched a lot until I took some benadrily and it helped to stop the itching. When I woke up Monday morning and they were still there, there are 4 of them on the right side of my thigh and one big one on the left, all of them just above my knee. They are not itching that bad anymore but it is Monday night and I would figure if they were bug bites that they would be gone by know.
My allergist from Cleveland clinic here in Coral Spring FL prescribe me CETIRIZINE 10MG 3 tablets a day for a month and then bring it down to 2 a day. I began with the treatment on March 2021 as today July 27/2021 I can tell you that I'm feeling 85% better before was every single day going to hell, today I'm not completely free, but feel much much better. Try it. CETIRIZINE is the same as ZYRTEC, but less expensive if a Dr. prescribed it . Good luck.
I got a pretty bad sunburn on the 3rd of June. It cleared up with a little peeling on my shoulder (where the sunburn was the most severe). About a day after the peeling on my shoulder stopped (I'd say that was the 9th), I got a rash. I then noticed it was everywhere I had been sunburned or exposed to the sun, but not anywhere that my bathing suit was covering. The rash is terribly itchy and it's very small flesh colored bumps.
Therefore, medicines like cetirizine may be needed indefinitely if symptoms are bad enough. Cetirizine is generally very well tolerated. You can look online for the list of possible side effects.
I'm a 26 year old female with hypothyroidism and possible polysistic ovary syndrome. About a year and a half ago-just as my thyroid problems were getting bad and before I was put on treatment for them- I got unbearably itchy skin that would keep me awake at night and began to come up in these ugly, small, round, bright red bumps on my arms and legs and thighs.
yesturday morning I woke up itching all over my thighs and arms.I notice when I took a closer look they were the size of dimes hard bumps rised above the skin.I also notice when I used hydrocortisone it's just like a regular oh rash.what can this be?I also took pictures if you would like to see them.your advice is appreciated.
6mg + desloratadine, 2 per day for three days then 1 per day for 3 days, which made the itching go away about the third day but came back soon after the fifth day while taking it.
I went to see my allergist. I have rhinitis and once (8 years ago) I had acute urticaria that solved with an injection of corticosteroids. She gave me hydroxicin 25mg before going to bed and half a dose (12,5mg) at evening. Also cetirizine 5mg during morning.
ive been having a prob. for a coupple of years with my skin.
