Avatar n tn I have had a heat rash on my neck, beside the jawline now for 14 years. I have been to a few Dr's who have said "Its just a heat rash, nothing you can do about it". My question, can a heat rash last for this long? Its been in the same place and has never spread. Its definately gets worse in the heat, it itches like crazy.
Avatar f tn clotrimazole and betamethasone dipropionate cream for two weeks. the rash eventually went away but it came back in other places, both legs, both thighs, both arms and fore arms, stomach, back, back of neck. I'v qiut using the cream for five days now due to the using it already for two weeks as the pharmacist told me. Went to the e.r last night due to the rash spreading and after explaining all this to him.
Avatar f tn There are so many things it could be, starting with heat rash because yes you can get it on your legs, so posting a picture or describing it would help. Also, this article might help. http://walking.about.com/od/medhot/a/legrash.
Avatar n tn I have rash on the back of my thighs , it seems to get worse when I sweat and heat.
Avatar m tn the doctor looked at my penis and there are a bunch of white almost pimple like bumps all over the base of my penis and up the underside of the shaft on either side. I was worried it was herpes and the doctor said it was most likely a heat burn rash. it has been there for about a week or so. she said there is a chance for them to be warts.. but there are far too many to lead her to believe that is the case. she said i should apply cortisone cream i think?
Avatar m tn I think probably most of your health issues have to do with the Arizona heat. The rash and your higher body temperature, that's probably from the heat. Use mild soaps with laundry & bathing and rinse well, generally wear clothes that are 100 percent cotton, and use a little baby powder at the neck, to minimize chaffing. A lot of Southwesterners wear a bandana to soak up neck heat and wipe off their brow. But heat alone will sometimes cause a rash.
Avatar m tn My question is does this sound like a heat rash or a yeast rash??? I am currently returning from vacation and have to come back to two weeks of training for work.
Avatar m tn Does Prickly Heat rash form whiteheads, I woke up this morning with a rash on my upper chest (above pecs) and upper back (triangle between neck and shoulder blades). The chest is just red bumps the back on the other hand is quite raised and has hundreds (not kidding) of whiteheads, it is not terribly itchy but I definitely can tell something is going on back there. I presume it is Prickly Heat as I moved to S.
Avatar n tn It looks like a very very faint rash, small pink spots. Almost like an ant bite. Like a normal heat rash? they aren't raised and they eventually go away. i think my skin might be dry as well. i thought it might have been from shaving so i avoided that for a week and it didn't change anything. My new job involves a lot of walking all day long. Could that be my problem? I am quite a paranoid person so i am beginning to worry. Does anyone else have this problem?
Avatar n tn heat rash, contact dermatitis, dry skin, infection or folliculitis. Try to use mild soap and refrain from using strong deodorants. If this is folliculitits or inflammation of the hair follicles, this will resolve on its own after a few days. Warm compress may also help. If it persists, it would be best to have this evaluated by your doctor. Take care and regards.
Avatar f tn Hello. I'm a 30 years old female. I've been having a skin problem and I really want to know what it is. Here's how whole thing started: - One day I noticed red rashes on my arms and legs after doing yard work (June 2010) - I saw a general doctor and took antihistamine. No progress. I took antibiotics (bactrim) for one week but I got a terrible drug rash from it. - The hospital finally let me see a dermatologist.
Avatar m tn Hello, I cannot confirm anything without examination but it can be dermatitis skin, contact dermatitis or heat rash. Keep the area clean and apply some topical antiseptics. Also wear loose-fitting cotton clothing and use an antibacterial soap or mild soap like dove. Oral antiinflammatories like ibuprofen/acetaminophen are also helpful apart from steroid creams. If the symptoms are severe then it will be best to consult a dermatologist.
Avatar f tn Oh I forgot I have scoured the net but non of the types of rash that match my symptoms match to pics.
Avatar n tn small rash on back right side and under breast on right side, thought it was a heat rash at first but the rash on back is red and just one spot where under the breast area it it prickly and small bumps. i am a farmer and got nitrogen on me and in my boots my feet are now itchy and raw on the tops my mother has the shingles right now could i have caught that?
Avatar n tn and told me it was a small yeast infection or heat rash. (I had been dirt-biking all weekend.) The inspection was visual, and did not include a swab. He prescribed ciclopirox. At 7 days it looks like a small bit of light red skin. The tenderness from my groin is gone. I am concerned with the accuracy of my doctor diagnosing me with a visual inspection. I am wondering if: 1) I can be sure based on his examination that I don't have genital herpes.
Avatar m tn Hi, ive included the pic. Just not sure whether it's heat rash or shingles. It looked like a cluster of pimples. It's gone in like 1-2 weeks. This skin problem occurred at the back just below my waist on my left side. When this happened, i remember i was sweating a lot at that area because of the hot climate here in my country.
Avatar n tn Hello, Golfer’s vasculitis rash is a red rash on the calves of many walkers. It often starts above the sock line and makes red patches and splotches up the calf. In that case, taking bath with cold water after staying in the sun or applying cold wet towels may help. If your legs are itchy during or after exercise, with no relation to heat, you may have exercise urticaria.In such cases, antihistaminics and not exercising on warm or humid days may help.
Avatar f tn Hello, Such type of rash can be due to contact dermatitis, allergies, viral rash (less likely) or heat rash. Avoid using any lotions and creams for the meantime. Make him use a mild cleanser with moisturizing properties like Cetaphil. Also use cotton clothes and change the clothes twice if there is any increased sweating. Try keeping the skin free of sweat as far as possible. If the symptoms still persist then you can apply mild steroid like dermacort.
Avatar f tn Another dermatologist thought I had a sun allergy and prescribed a strong sunscreen. I am not convinced of the this diagnosis either as the rash remains thoughout the year now. However, the rash is restricted to my face and lower limbs - areas most exposed to the sun - so there is some link. But if it is the sun, the effect is not immediate, and the rash never totally disappears. I have never had this rash on my trunk or groin area.
Avatar m tn At first it was just sore then a couple of days later the bumps appeared and they are itchy and it hurts when you scratch it. What is it? Is it a heat rash, a rash, or a skin condition? Do I need to go to the doctor to get it checled out?
Avatar f tn I have recently developed a severe rash over my legs and arms. It might not be related to my condition, but a heat rash, as I live in Las Vegas and am constantly in the sun. I have lived her for over 40yrs and never experienced it before. Recently I stayed indoors for about 4 d ays and it eased off, but when I had to out yesterday it came back. I have been using chalomine lotion on it which helps a bit and also hydrocortisone.
1730951 tn?1310104115 Hello, These small bumps can be due to contact dermatitis or allergic reaction to the socks, shoes etc , heat rash, insect bites or lichen planus if the rash is violaceous in color. I suggest you to get it evaluated from a dermatologist to confirm the diagnosis. 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 dermatologist.
Avatar m tn Hello, first time poster here. So, I woke up this morning after sleeping on the floor (family over), and I was sweating. To think of it, I was sweating all night. I began to itch once I was awake and noticed a large hive/rash on both my inner thighs, inner arms, outer chest(near nipples), and on the inner elbow of one arm.I slept on my right side and on that side(chest/arm wise) the rash seems to be larger. Is this a heat rash? or some kind of allergic reaction?
